Starlink is a subsidiary of SpaceX, which Elon Musk runs. https://t.co/0MORTIgqfJ

Snopes decided to use the missing dead occupants of the Titan submersible to totally not (wink-wink) blame the Elongated Muskrat for the tragedy.
On 20 June, they published an article asking "Was the Missing Titanic Submersible Using Satellites from Elon Musk’s Company?" and rating it "True". Wayback Machine has the record.
There's only one problem - Starlink satellite internet can't penetrate water.
They posted the article on twitter, and the Twittards let them have it, with tons of replies and then community notes.

We knew that years ago, matey.

The richest African-American himself soon piled on.

Snopes, had no choice to update the article to "False", with a misleading editor's note to obfuscate their frick-up.
Editor's Note: Since the original publication of this fact check on June 20, 2023, Snopes clarified its rating and text to make clear that — while OceanGate, the company overseeing the submersible's expedition, said it was using Starlink satellites for the trip — the submersible itself was not using the technology to communicate. How, or to what extent, the vessel's mothership was using Starlink to communicate remained unknown.
In a final addendum, The Daily Beast, proving yet again why jourmalists deserve everything they get in third-world countries, published an article to spread that misinformation and cover for Snopes.
Elon Musk used his favorite insult again on Wednesday, accusing the fact-checking site Snopes.com of running a “psy op” after it fact-checked links between the missing Titanic submersible and Musk’s Starlink satellite service.
The article from Snopes merely confirmed that OceanGate, the company behind the missing sub, relies on Starlink for communications on the vessel.

For some reason Snopes fact checking people they obviously do not like is always funny because you can basically taste the seethe in their words.

They're almost as bad as PolitiFact. The hoops PolitiFact will jump through to get the "desired" rating are just comical.
You end up with shit like "The politician denied being corrupt so that settles the matter. FALSE"

I just read All the President's Men and was a bit surprised at just how scummy journos were already in the 1970s. And also completely worthless at anything except publishing leaks from the FBI.

They do it real nice with the special military operation, too.
"Russia claims it has captured the town of Slavinsk. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the Orcs have actually been routed from Europe and are currently being pursued through Asia Minor. Therefore, we rate Russia's claim as PANTS ON FIRE."

Yeah you have a good point. The world is getting so fundamentally low trust, we can’t even agree on basic concepts of reality anymore. What is a woman? Is space real? Was Jesus enby?

Everyone likes to forget that boy-lovers and paedo activists were considered a legitimate part of the gay rights movement of the 1980s. Take this journal article from 1986 which outlines:
All of that is thanks to the Queer theorists who were all paedophiles or paedophile supporters.
It wasn't until the mid 90s that gay rights activists came to their senses and disavowed the boy-lovers.

Point being, do we really need an organization to tell rightoids that homosexuals don’t actually reproduce by raping kids?
In my mind, anyone with their sensibilities will know this isn’t true, and the rest won’t be swayed by some
