Sooner or later they will do as tobacco companies always did: pay for their own research and not to their lawyers

Next month's headline:

SpaceX performs analysis of hateful content on X, comparing data prior to acquisition and after rebanding. Results conclude "97% less hateful content publicly available" after sweeping changes brought on by Elon Musk.

More subtle, like "Cyberbullying may make you stronger, research says" or "Researches state that hateful content does not contribute to pancreas cancer"

Very good point. Maybe something with a bit more of Elon's agenda, too: "Research finds link between aggressive political activism and self-reported mental health issues; cyber bullying 'not a problem' for average Americans."

Also, lmao at the fanboy who downvoted both our comments.

That's a pretty good one! You could come with that to Elon's office and ask for a research grant
