"Moved past"?
As in the monster responsible is in jail, the #BoneSawKingdom has released full details of their cover-up, & given up trying to do #ReputationLaundering?
#ReputationLaundering
You're addicted to alcohol, eh? You think alcohol is bad, do you?
Well, why do you buy so much of it then? #Gotcha!
Seems Tiger had concerns about the #BoneSawKingdom's #ReputationLaundering attempt with #LIVGolf?
Which would be normal for anyone not supporting torture, murder and dictatorship.
Though Vannessa's judgement looks suspect, what with her having been involved with the Trumps.
Maybe she has grown up, matured, gotten older and a little wiser? Though I'm thinking she might know where some bodies are burried (metaphor) and probably owes America an exposè book.
The #ReputationLaundering fee does seem low. I think #PaulManafort made millions doing this stuff - and for killers of similar ilk to Assad.
Suggests another possibility to try at The Hague in 203x.
"I stayed on performing my duties so I could try to moderate his actions."
(Make sure you send this in a memo to your biographer now so that a future journalist can quote it when #ReputationLaundering is needed.
See #AnneApplebaum's piece on Musk, RU and switching off navigation data for an example.)
@Spoon
Another Golfing Great (but a Trumpian nutjob who is commissioner and CEO of the #BoneSawKingdom's LIV golf reputation-laundering attempt, who'd certainly be kneeling and panting at Trump's coronation next in line to his fellow Aussie, the cardboard box king #AnthonyPratt.)

Reputation laundering Shillese, lesson 3;
"Apple said the fees reflect the expansive value its app store provides. The initial acquisition fee 'reflects the value the App Store provides when connecting developers with customers in the EU'."
Translation;
Stopping these people getting apps anywhere but our app store provides value, to us. By charging you anytime they try to pay you for your work. Which not only cost us nothing, but adds value to our OS.
"We were called in for a staff meeting and our research director told us;
There's a lot of activists and journalists snooping around and trying to enquire about our funding... from the oil industry... If anybody talks to you... send them to me instead.
For an academic institution to actually tell its researchers; don't tell other people where your funding comes from!"

The normalisation of the misleading buzz phrase "PR" ("Public Relations") to describe their work, has been one of the greatest opinion-shaping successes of the reputation laundering industry. More recently, they've even succeeded in getting us to use generic terms like "communications" to describe their work.
Along similar lines, the normalisation of "think tanks" to describe industry-funded policy farms, which are also part of the reputation laundering industry.
#TIL about E. Bruce Harrison
"... (April 3, 1932 – January 16, 2021) was a public relations (PR) expert who organized several campaigns for the U.S. industry against environmental legislation from the 1970s to the 1990s. He has been called the father of environmental PR.
...
A sub-genus of mosquito was named Bruceharrisonius in 2003."
Oh come on - The Onion is meant to be satire.
"Elon throws tantrum, fires folks" is expected behaviour, not satire.
Is this categorising of Musk' s expected behaviour as being somehow "different and remarkable" part of some ongoing #ReputationLaundering campaign?
If so then sorry to see #TheOnion has been corrupted just like #TheGuardian and the #TheAtlantic.
@NPR@press.coop
Want to bet on the "Destruction is how Elon progresses" news releases being aready completed by his #SupplicantPress / #ReputationLaundering agents?
#ElonMusk said on Saturday that #SpaceX's #Starlink will support #communication links in #Gaza with "internationally recognized #aid organizations", prompting #Israel's communication minister to say #Israel would fight the move.

still, #ReputationLaundering

@dougiec3
Don't know about censorship.
But #TheGuardian did publish a story about Musk and the non-supply of satellite navigation data to Ukraine's military that took claims by Musk and his associates at face value and presented as fact an interpretation of those claims which was highly favourable to Musk.
At a time when #Musk could well have benefited from some #ReputationLaundering
@chargrille
When multiple articles very quickly appeared proclaiming that the explosive destruction of Musk's most-bigly Rocket was actually a benefit to Musk's rocket program I wondered just how much of a PR machine could be purchased by a man with hundreds of billions of dollars.
Conclusion: A mega-bigly PR and #ReputationLaundering campaign could be bought.
Subsequent articles about Musk-Fear-Ukraine in The Atlantic, The Guardian and Snopes -> no change.
Looks like the bio won't either.
@axeshun @edgeoforever
Yep, I'm with you on this.
Taking a comm from Musk to his biographer at face-value is beyond naive.
This looks like #ReputationLaundering to me.
And The Guardian and The Atlantic should be ashamed of their involvement in it.
I remember too the so-quick appearance of articles about how beneficial having Musk's super rocket explode on landing was to the project.
Clearly an ongoing million dollar PR campaign surrounds Musk.
@Compassionatecrab@toad.social
This article appears to be more #ReputationLaundering.
It takes as proven that #Musk acted out of fear.
"Musk did so because Russians (sometimes he says Putin) told him that a Ukrainian attack on part of Ukraine’s own territory (the Crimean peninsula, occupied by Russia) would lead to a Russian nuclear response. "
There is no proof that this was the reaon Musk shut down the sat-nav system.
Motivations are impossible to prove.
Musk's comms at the time prove nothing.
#UKR
@KayJanes
Answering the intent of your question:
Duckduckgo says yes.
It says yes so much that it appears that #DisasterRelief is a central element of the ongoing #ReputationLaundering / #PerceptionManagement / #PRCampaign of the #BoneSawKingdom.
1/2
There is a #TheAtlantic article up, saying that #Musk pulled #Ukraine's sat-nav for a planned attack on Russian sips because he feared WWIII would break out.
The basis for this affirmative claim by The Atlantic?
A Musk comm to his biographer stating his concern.
Problem is that anyone wanting to create some grounds for some defence against doing something like switching off the sat-nav in a secret deal with #Russia would do something like that.
Looks like #ReputationLaundering to me.
@ZhiZhu @anneapplebaum
You do realise that the basis for the claim that #Musk was frightened is weak, the sort of thing that anyone who wanted to create some basis for some sort of defence of their action would do?
From where I stand the article looks like #ReputationLaundering.
