Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter has garnered much attention from supporters and critics on both sides of the fence. Big move after big move, the new Twitter CEO can often be found in headlines regarding his actions.
A Twitter user decided to put two screenshots against each other, talking about Musk's actions regarding remote work. As highlighted by the tweet, one headline came from CNBC, while another came from Bloomberg.
Two Headlines Included from CNBC and Bloomberg
The CNBC article was titled "Elon Musk sets more in-office requirements at Twitter, threatens lax managers." Its opening bullet point is how the new CEO of Twitter "issued stricter expectation for return-to-office and in-office work."
The BNN Bloomberg article was titled "Musk Softens Remote-Work Mandate to Retain Twitter Staffers." The account by Eva Fox noted that the two headlines contradicted each other and confirmed one thing, "they're aiming to write anything as long as it's bad about Elon."
Elon Musk Said the Writing is Driving Usage to All-Time Highs
The account then stated, "pure bias in its purest form." To this, Elon Musk replied that the media constantly writing about Twitter still has a positive effect.
The Twitter CEO noted that the media's constant writing results in "driving usage to all-time highs," saying that their writings were "fine by me." Instead of agreeing, the CEO acknowledged the headlines and said that they resulted in Twitter's all-time high in terms of users.
