Is there a name for the propaganda tactic of attaching people's names to headlines in order to associate a negative event with their name? I see it happening pretty often in the last few years.

Also, if X's valuation ever goes back up will these same people write a similar article about it, and attach his name to that positive event? Or would it just be ignored and not reported on?

Is the suggestion that Elon Musk has no or little influence over Fidelity's drastically bad valuation change? And also that Axios is engaging in propaganda?

I infer that from the comment. I am not an expert on propaganda.

I do read critically too however. I wonder if I'm missing some connecting detail?

Lots of things are called X, so either you call it Twitter or you disambiguate in some way.

You can't claim a letter of the alphabet in the global namespace. Not even C gets to do that.

I tried to start an ad campaign on X to measure the CPM's on there for various keywords, and they haven't approved my ad campaign.

You would think a company that is desperately trying to increase ad revenue wouldn't make me wait 2 months to start giving them money.
