    The article’s title does not match the content. I read it and it does not talk about how Musk controls Trump. It talks about retaliation for those organizing protests against Tesla.

    Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.

      The title of the post matches the title of the article, this isn’t a case of a poster editorializing.

      The post title is an exact and faithful copy of the linked article, though. There’s no editorializing here.

        That’s one of my points. They could have changed the title of the Lemmy post (like what is done MOST of the time around here) to not match the subject of the article but instead be accurate for us Lemmy readers, and not just duplicate the same/wrong title. The “editorializing” in this case is the NOT correcting of the title in the Lemmy post.

        So either the person who posted here on Lemmy didn’t read the article they posted about, or they decided to purposely carry forward the invalid title from the article, after having read the article. (Or, this is just an astroturfing article and we are all wasting our time commenting here.)

          Snowflake, if you don’t like the article headline the author used, downvote and move on and email the author. Cripes, not everything is about you sweetheart.

          ETA. Man that signature is annoying, just clogs up the thread. Sorry but damn, if that doesn’t just scream, “it’s all about me!”

      I don’t think he is talking about the title of the post on Lemmy but the title of the Yahoo article. Your point about people on Lemmy changing the title is not how things look.

      “Welcome to Lemmy, where people’s personal agendas/marketing shape the titles of their posts.”

      That has no barring on how Yahoo named their title.
