NYT carrying water for lying billionaires. Again.

Nothing you can say will convince me this was not 100% at the behest of that egomaniacal monster at the top of the company.

I guess that was Xai's response to NYT's request and NYT didn't care to investigate it further or risk a lawsuit. But yeah, there's a clear reason why this "error" was implemented. Even if Musk didn't order this implementation (maybe even to just generate some publicity for the cause*), he clearly inspired it. So yeah, he's responsible for the fuckup and we all know that.
