Taiwan is not for sale, and neither is it part of China, said Taiwan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, in a rebuke to Elon Musk.

    “Slams” equates to low effort shitposting, even by the likes of NBC. As a business bootlicker CNBC is no stranger to clickbait…

    Alternatives to the word “Slam(s)” include: animadversion, aspersion, jab, obloquy, potshot, slap, slur, stricture, and swipe

    Seems character count is apparently expensive even in bit format as a digital character.

      @stopthatgirl7, I appreciate the downvote, however I’d like to add that this contributes to the conversation and the trend of using the word “slam” in every article that poses a reactionary comment by someone, or an entity against something another someone or entity officially says.

      It’s apparent that it’s low effort in the attempt to generate clicks. Quite frankly, I agree with Taiwan’s comments against Elon “I open my mouth garbage spews forth” Musk. I just don’t agree with the headline.
