And to add, government funded does not insinuate government controlled.

The government funds lots of things through grants, like NOAA, NWS, Internet providers, even private television stations. NPR is funded through several government levels: federal, state, and local. So even the term "government funded" is very vague, and ignores several other major funding sources.

The whole Twitter labeling thing is odd.



Musk's other companies are "government funded" in some way --- Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company.

The fact that Tesla stock was used to finance the Twitter buyout must mean that Twitter is government funded as well.
