Motherfuck you, AP: Musk is committing open sabotage. IT IS NOT ABOUT "COST-CUTTING."
- No, do not fuck the AP. They have free speech, but they cannot report sensationalized headlines like that. Can you imagine the ridiculous level of shit Musk and the entire US government would drop on them? They're already out to crush the media orgs that don't fall in line. The AP doesn't need to be sued for slander. Reporting the truth is their best weapon against these fascists. Let the people take it for what it is.
  
  It's still oddly favorable for them to call it a "cost cutting" team. Call it "Musk's team." Or "DOGE." Absolutely no reason for them to talk it up like that in the headline.
  
  Yes, according to AP style guide it should be a straight-armed gesture team.
  
  There's already a lawsuit between AP and and the US Government for certain word choices
- More open kleptocracy than sabotage, but still sabotage, nonetheless
