I wish we changed to just not cover him at all. It is insanely hard to ignore reading about his inane activities.
Yes. Stop covering them unless they actually do something of importance to the public.
I could not care less about what dumb shit Musk said. To me it has no more weight than what a random person on a bus stop says.
Actually here’s the benchmark, if it’s something that wouldn’t be covered if it was said/done by a random man on the street, then don’t cover it if it’s said/done by musk.

Whatever he says is meant to either feed his ego or his coffers. So just assume lie, exaggeration or straight lunacy. I don’t even know why anyone gives him 2m. Whatever he’s ever said about tech, he’s been either somewhat or totally out to lunch.
How about we start right now? Just don’t post anything related to him until it’s actually confirmed to be actually happening and not just him shitposting.

Tech news with a hefty dose of socioeconomics and politics. I literally get the same thing from my news communities. I just want tech discussion in isolation :'(
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Today let’s talk about a wild weekend of backtracking at the company formerly known as Twitter — and how it should inform the way we cover Elon Musk and his frequent promises in the future.
Wrestling promoters have made a lot of money with cowardly heel champions who go to great lengths to avoid having to face their adversaries in combat.
The issue is that these stories are often published without the skepticism that is appropriate to someone who the Securities and Exchange Commission once forced to pay $20 million for saying something that wasn’t true.
Given that Musk won’t even pay his own vendors, it strains credulity that he would file unlimited lawsuits on behalf of anyone fired over what we used to call a tweet.
In February, for example, Musk said the company would begin sharing ad revenue with creators “today” — an announcement that was widely covered.
Last week, for example, the company said it would make good on a promise to let subscribers to X Premium — formerly Twitter Blue — hide their verified checkmarks, which have become a badge of dishonor and mockery among the wider user base.
