Is he a capitalist though? He lit "his" capital on fire to buy and ruin Twitter. It seems like his goals are mostly political. He bought the site so he could push his far-right ideology. His recent trip to the border supports that. It does nothing but alienate customers and advertisers, yet he did it anyway. Same with his constant whining about trans people, that's not a business decision, it's a far-right ideological decision.

I was referring to Bloomberg. When corporations start to take moral stances always ask, cui bono?

If you want a capitalist spin on the reporting just think that Musk has created so much easy content in the form of blatantly unethical behavior that it's super easy for them to just pick some up and print it. It's low hanging fruit for content, that doesn't make Musk's actions any less objectionable though.
