"Elon Musk kind of turned out to be an asshole and I don't want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole. So, uh, looking forward to my new ride."
Such a strange sentence. Makes you “garden path” (reanalyze the syntax after already being deeper into the structure). Minimally need a “that” after “Senator”.
Though it’s uncommon usage, so that’s actually a tick against it potentially being AI generated.
“Senator Elon Musk” is ambiguous phrasing. Obviously, what is meant is “Senator [that] Elon Musk”, but it could also have been calling Aparthiedman himself a senator.
What a misleading and poorly written headline.

You mean ‘who’, right? Senators are (usually bad) people so let’s not treat them like objects.
“That” or “who” are both commonly used for animate arguments. And given it is an object here, “whom” would be the most pretentious option.
Wait, I read the article and the headline is pretty much on point? What am I missing?

It reads like a gardenpath sentence.
For example (made up on the spot so excuse me if its crap)
Muscle man made harms others when using force
[Muscle that was made by man]
I like “The old man the ship”
Elon Musk isn’t a Senator. The title as written reads that way by default.
A
thatshoved in the middle would fix that.This sounds like Elon is a Senator and was called a traitor; when it was actually Musk calling a Senator a traitor.
