How is this “journalism”? These types of articles might as well be considered glorified Twitter rants.
It's not meant as journalism, it's an essay. My reaction was similar though, I think that it's almost embarrassing to try and subject someone like Musk to this kind of smug analysis. Whether or not there is some validity, he's operating in such different plane that it just seems silly to bother considering his actions through the kind of lens The Atlantic would, however you want to interpret that.
Yeah it’s like who is this written for? I feel like some of these people write this for themselves and the other 6 people in their cubicle.
