I usually read phrases like "absolutely obliterated" or "completely destroyed" as "mindlessly repeated some stale, partisan talking points."
People are acting like Elon walked on water for providing the minimal a amount of pushback to a BBC reporter’s histrionic nonsense. The two examples I’ve heard so far were nothing special. It just goes to show how cowardly most of polite society actually is that people describe that as “Elon obliterates BBC”.

Yes, it’s been a couple years since such titles flooded YouTube. It’s a little jarring seeing it in 2023.
