CBC News editor-in-chief Brodie Fenlon said in a blog post Tuesday that while “CBC/Radio-Canada is publicly funded through a parliamentary appropriation voted upon by all members of Parliament, the government has no — zero — involvement in our editorial content or journalism.” After the “Titter Daily News” account posted about those numbers and a CBC tweet saying that government funding only covers a portion of its expenses, Musk responded: “Just trying to be accurate.

“Good point, generosity is always the right move. 69% it is!” Musk tweeted, and changed the label again.
