Also, did anyone forget that Elon Musk owns X? Is it really necessary to throw "Elon Musk's" into every headline? I somehow doubt he's sitting at some kind of master control console laughing maniacally and pulling a lever to make the verification badge go away every time the Times changes their profile picture.
It's a shitty SEO tactic mixed with the Pavlovian response to the man's name.
