Elon Musk deleted several tweets of his without apology after getting called out for promoting two disreputable accounts he held up as reliable sources.
Interesting. Journalists are probably used to that information being enough: “Blah deletes tweets” has always meant “deletes their own tweets” because nobody can delete someone else’s tweets.
Except, Elon can, so it’s perfectly reasonable to interpret this headline as him deleting someone else’s nazi shit. Just a bit of a careless headline tbh.
Oh, at first I interpreted this as he deleted someone else’s tweets that were doing that. But of course that’s not what it means.
Haha, same here. I was thinking, “Wait…did Elon actually do something decent for a change?!”
It’s like how hitler killed hitler
But then it’s '43 and you just misread

Right, like if someone said “Reddit mod deletes controversial posts” we wouldn’t assume it was their posts.
That’s because that’s what it says
Since he’s a mod/admin of twitter, it’s ambiguous.
