[quote=Anonymous]The NYT and WSJ reporting on Musk's drug use is different.

WSJ has previously reported on Musk's known use of drugs such as ketamine and LSD, and specifically how the boards of Tesla and his other companies have responded to it. Musk hasn't exactly hidden his drug use and has talked about some of this stuff publicly. WSJ's angle was primarily on how it impacted his businesses and the unusual nature of a CEO who openly uses both legal and illegal drugs.

The NYT story is focused on Musk's involvement with Trump's 2024 campaign and his use of drugs on the campaign trail, PLUS his family issues which were very prevalent on the campaign because he would often bring his kids with him. But also some of his family scandals broke during the campaign. So the NYT story is not really about Musk's role as CEO but the specific role he played on the campaign and the craziness of him doing drugs and dealing with pretty wild family drama in the midst of a presidential campaign. Especially since Trump himself is sort of famously a teetotaler.

Since the NYT story was reporting on events that unfolded during the campaign and for which they had a variety of inside sources, it makes sense that they would need to take more time offer time to comment because using anonymous sources of private events can be thin ice for reporters. This is different from the Lively/Baldoni reporting where Lively was going on the record and filing a court case.

Also Twohey offered Wayfarer more than 12 hours to comment but then Freedman leaked the CRD complaint and the story to tabloids at like 4am and NYT was forced to publish early instead of waiting until their scheduled time in order to avoid being scooped.[/quote]
