      “Senator Elon Musk” is ambiguous phrasing. Obviously, what is meant is “Senator [that] Elon Musk”, but it could also have been calling Aparthiedman himself a senator.

        It reads like a gardenpath sentence.

        For example (made up on the spot so excuse me if its crap)

        Muscle man made harms others when using force

        [Muscle that was made by man]

      Elon Musk isn’t a Senator. The title as written reads that way by default.

      A that shoved in the middle would fix that.

      Senator Elon Musk Called a ‘Traitor’ Gets Rid of His Tesla: Don’t Want a Car Built By An ‘A**hole’

      This sounds like Elon is a Senator and was called a traitor; when it was actually Musk calling a Senator a traitor.

      Try:

      Senator, who was called a ‘Traitor’ by Elon Musk, Gets Rid of His Tesla: Don’t Want a Car Built By An ‘A**hole’
