In the last ~5 years, editors have flipped how colons work in headlines and it bugs the hell out of me. The proper use is "Source: Elon does stuff" because the source is saying 'Elon does stuff."
The way this headline is written reads "Elon's proposal says, 'source'" like a porn-addicted redditor.
I first noticed this on article rewrite sites like yahoo news and now it's everywhere. I'd hate to think "real" editors looked at content farms and said, "that's what we're missing, incomprehensible headlines!", but it wouldn't surprise me.
The whole reason they do this is to hide the fact that it's all fake bullshit madeup by one of their day-drinking gossip friends. If you put "Source:" everyone would know it was fake.
