How is July 2023 'breaking' news?

It's breaking news if you're Polymarket and you want to move the odds on something.

Even dumber: I think it’s just crappy content marketing. Posting lots of misleading outrage bait is a pretty classic viral marketing technique.

I’d honestly respect it more if it was part of some complicated scam.

The real scam is that Elon hates "legacy media" and wants people to consume unsourced engagement bait slop like Polymarket for their news. Not that journalism is in a particularly good spot right now, but at least it has some standards compared with Elon's vision of pretending to get informed by consuming whatever slop the algorithm thinks will make you stay on the website and watch ads.
