I'm not saying that White Wolf was a good company. I'm just calling out that the article said "Paradox, creators of the popular TTRPG and video game franchise Vampire: The Masquerade" and that's not true. They have yet to create a single thing for VtM. They held a game jam and are allowing people to get some money off the results. Great! But tabletop RPGs are important and their history shouldn't be distorted.
That might be true for the video game (although Activision still exists and might argue the point, since they were the original publisher), but the Tabletop RPG was NOT created by Paradox. The tabletop RPG existed long before Paradox existed.
Paradox didn't create VtM. They didn't even create the video game for it.
They might currently own the IP, but they didn't create it, any more than Disney created Star Wars.
Why is Elon Musk called out BY NAME in this headline? He's the CEO of SpaceX, but he's not responsible for running the company day-to-day, that's Gwynne Shotwell's job. The headline implies that Elon Musk personally asked the FCC to give him money so he could provide broadband to "Traffic Medians". If the filing causes the FCC to change how they do broadband coverage maps, will you give Elon Musk the credit?

Lack of research from Mr Bode showing through again.
A quick google search reveals the weight of a Tesla is between 3500 and 4500 pounds, not 2500 pounds (or tons? LOL!)
Is techdirt just an SEO platform for the NYT these days?
Why so much hate on Elon Musk?
