Several days ago I posted the following information but in a thread. Meanwhile the NYT replied saying that what I posted was fake news. Claiming that they knew the contents of the accounts of their correspondent Emily Glazer. How on earth would they know unless they had a copy of everything?

Eight senior @WSJ and @NYT journalists tell us how they really feel about @ElonMusk in their WhatsApp chats.

1) @KirstenGrind and @TeddySchleifer (both NYT):
TS: “I don’t understand why you hate him so much.”
KG: “Because he is the beginning of the end for humanity, he is something like the Antichrist.”
KG: “So the strategy will be to try to make the billionaires fight amongst themselves and thus dismantle their board of directors.”
“if we make the rich fight and play on their egos, we finally win the end of such a detestable person.”

2) Kirsten Grind to @EricLiptonNYT (both NYT):
KG: “We’re going to bring down the wealthiest man on earth. Are you with me”
EL: “of course”

3) @EmilyGlazer to Dana Mattiolli (both WSJ):
EG: “through ink and paper you unmask a despicable being.”
DM: “Did you see the latest?” (she had just written the article about Elon’s “Legion of babies”)
EG: “The one about the responsible dad, where he has a child with each mom, is a despicable being, and I don’t understand how women go along with that.”
DM: “Are you going to write another report against that scoundrel?”
EG: “I am working on a strategy to become friends with his inner circle, so I can gather more information. Also I have a meeting with some individuals from Venezuela who intend to take some kind of action against him in the region.”
DM: “would you accompany me to an interview I have with the mother of his latest child, meaning number 15, you can firsthand learn what a bad person he is.”

4) Ryan Mac to Emily Glazer, both NYT (he wrote the book “How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter”)
RM: “I forgot to tell you not to use Signal anymore please. That is where they are spying on us from.”
EG: “Have you confirmed that information already? Because it is the most secure app”
RM: “Yes, it has already been confirmed.”
EG: “I knew they were spying on us.”

5) Emily Glazer, WSJ, and her Mom:
Mom: “Please take care of yourself… You should call your friends from Russia.”
EG: “Mom, don’t talk about those topics through this means. Simply be in a state of maximum alert. Because the man with the money has no scruples, and he could do something bad to me or my family.”
Mom: “I insist, it’s better to leave the country for now, travel to Venezuela or Russia, I don’t know, someplace calmer. That man is out of his mind.”
EG: “No. Just stay very alert.”

6) Then from @Joe_Palazzolo, also WSJ:
JP: “You should take good care of yourself. They are very bad people.”
EG: “Do you say it because of the topic SPACE X” “I am going to publish the Texas news, that will leave him very poorly positioned in the public’s eyes. Do you support me?”
JP: “Of course, but you should keep in mind that you’re dealing with the same devil.”
EG: “Do you think he is capable of attacking me or my family?”
JP: “yes” “Remember, the Texla issue didn’t go anywhere, and what happened was that their capital increased.”

You may have suspected the MSM had an agenda. It’s worse that you might imagine. Taking someone down trumps truth-seeking. It’s personal not professional. It tramples the notion of journalistic integrity. Strategy shifts are taken to maximize harm versus truth-seeking. Corporate activism and interpersonal conflict are pursued to disrupt a board. No surprise that their published articles read like character assassination attempts more than news. These publications have long ago lost the trust of their readership and should reboot their staff if they want to regain it.

As for the NYT denial: Typical. NYT makes a bold statement of fact that you could not possibly make. These are the journalists private WhatsApp chats. You don't have access to them. Have the receipts? I do

AND THERE IS PLENTY MORE

In an ironic twist of fate the amount of complaints and structural components made half of my tweet thread disappear. Well, here in its full glory IS WHAT I POSTED.

NYT can deny all they want. They should sue this account and see just how bold their denials become nothing during a deposition.

@EricLiptonNYT @EmilyGlazer @joe_palazzolo RECEIPTS FROM THEIR WHATSAPP MESSAGES (oh, and I have oh, so many more!….)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst   
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.   
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out   
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert   
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,   
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,   
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it   
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.   
The darkness drops again; but now I know   
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,   
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,   
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
