Thank for this. Seeing this explained this whole thing makes much more sense. Not in a good way, but I now understand. Edit: fixed typo
For what it's worth, I had no idea if it was the absolute worst journalistic judgement I have ever seen, or a way for him to find more CSAM, or some bizarre combo.

Text almost never makes me physically recoil.
Yeah, even if we give them the benefit of the doubt that it was a bad attempt at journalism, there's no reason to defend them. Also bizarre that Elon would even get involved in it.
