Elon Musk, the distorted truth, and who owns the media
Published: May 31, 2018
Just over a week ago now, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk declared that “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.”
Musk later tweeted, “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 ….” And the media’s response comments only further made his point for him.
The mainstream media “distorted their coverage with sensational language, one-sided reporting, and faulty reasoning,” according to The Knife Media. The coverage of Musk’s dedication to holding the media accountable for their lies was met with an inordinate amount of spin, slant, faulty logic, and inaccurate data.
Joshua Topolsky, founder of The Online, asked Musk on Twitter, “Do you think it’s in the interest of powerful people to A: support a free press that exposes their lies, or B: tear it down so their lies are easier to tell?”
Musk responded with, “Who do you think *owns* the press? Hello.”
The Tesla CEO has been accused of anti-Semitism for making it quite clear that the powerful Jewish lobby and its banksters and connivers own the divisive and corrupt major media organizations in this country. Though he was non-specific with his tweet, he opted not to answer dozens of follow up questions from Twitter users or respond to or condemn the flurry of anti-Semitic responses.
It’s also important to also note the accelerating consolidation of America’s media. Today, six companies own basically all of the country’s media. They are: Disney (ABC, ESPN, Marvel Studios and Comics, the History Channel), TimeWarner (CNN, HBO, Time, TBS, TNT), Comcast (NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, DreamWorks), News Corp (Fox, Fox News, Wall Street Journal, New York Post), Sony (a plethora of television, film, and music assets), and National Amusements (CBS, Paramount, Showtime, Viacom, Comedy Central). Their total value is $430 billion. If these six companies were a country, they would be the 26th wealthiest in the world.
It’s time to tune out. It’s time to turn off those alphabet networks. It’s time to find your own truth because you can no longer rely on the mainstream media. Alternative news sites are popping up all over the place and provide much more fact-based journalism without slant, bias or deception.

American journalism is dead today because our news reporters and commentators have let their ideology get the best of them. The mainstream media is on its way out, and there’s nothing they can do about it because they can’t even admit there’s a problem.
It’s long past time to blow the whole thing up.
