Ryan is a seasoned tech reporter for The New York Times, known for his in-depth coverage of the tech industry, which includes his reporting on Elon Musk’s ventures and controversies.
In a now-deleted post, the mother labeled New York Times reporter Ryan Mac as an “American Vietnamese reporter,” which some found odd and unnecessary
Maye’s labeling of Ryan as an “American Vietnamese reporter”—which many saw as irrelevant and inappropriate—was swiftly removed, but not before NBC reporter Tyler Kingkade saw it.
“I’ve heard there is going to be an Elon hit piece … Sadly, Ryan is an American Vietnamese reporter,” Maye wrote in her post
The NBC reporter emphasized Ryan’s credentials and his award-winning journalism.
