The holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies who lay claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie, is why the public no longer respects them https://twitter.com/electrekco/statu...18852365303808 …

Musk continues his slow transformation into a media-baiting Trump figure screaming irrationally about fake news. Hope it works out for you dude! https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/999355619390865408 …

Thought you’d say that. Anytime anyone criticizes the media, the media shrieks “You’re just like Trump!” Why do you think he got elected in the first place? Because no ones believes you any more. You lost your credibility a long time ago.

Problem is journos are under constant pressure to get max clicks & earn advertising dollars or get fired. Tricky situation, as Tesla doesn’t advertise, but fossil fuel companies & gas/diesel car companies are among world’s biggest advertisers.

Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication. Thinking of calling it Pravda …

Pravda, which means truth in Russian, was the name of the official paper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

I will admit, he needs to simmer down and just focus on getting shit done. He's had a bit of bad press lately and I think he's letting it get to him. He needs to go back to focusing on what he needs to do rather than what the press is saying.

Comparing Musk to Trump is a bit much, but I guess both would be best served to ignore the media and just focus on their jobs and stay off Twitter.

Elon has relied on and played with the media for years to accomplish his goals. He is a showman. He's probably got a copy of The Art of the Deal sitting on his desk.

I think it's awesome that he's in the position he's in and doesn't rely on a bunch of In-House processes to filter what he says and thinks. He's pissed at the media and he's saying how he feels. No biggie and Trump is a shitburger

Musk is probably worth 10 times what Trump is worth. Im betting he doesn't need to read Trump s book to learn how to make deals..

Musk got 5 billion taxpayer dollars in corporate welfare. None of his ventures are profitable.
