    A key claim that anchors the narrative framing.

  • emotional language
    To put it another way, the existence of a trillionaire is not an occasion to celebrate; it’s an economic crisis, and states and the federal government should treat it as such.

    Evaluative labeling that nudges a normative interpretation.

  • causal claim
    And of course, Musk doesn’t think taxes should be raised on the rich, and more specifically on unrealized gains from stocks because it would allegedly stifle innovation.
