The media is trying to stop Elon Musk.
Their newest attack is claiming that his reputation is suffering because of what he is done on Twitter.
Why aren’t they happy he has exposed the truth?
The Washington Post ran an article titled “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.”
The Washington Post reported:
That crisis accelerated as Tesla stock prices plunged nearly 20 percent this week to $123 per share on Friday, largely due to concerns about Musk. Also this week, roughly 58 percent of 17 million Twitter accounts that responded to an unscientific poll from Musk said he should step down as Twitter CEO, after helping create, then reverse new policies that proved controversial last weekend.
“Historically he’s been a pendulum between genius and reckless,” said Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures. “He’s on reckless right now. He’s way over recklessness.”
Munster added, “It leaves people to view him … as slightly less of a genius.”
…
Musk is repeatedly described as a man obsessed with Twitter in all the wrong ways, who is failing both at protecting his new investment and his previous ones, according to interviews with a half-dozen former Twitter employees and people in Musk’s orbit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution or because they were not authorized to speak publicly about company matters.
The Washington Post used anonymous Twitter sources to try and further hurt his reputation.
Newsbusters reported:
Once Elon Musk took over Twitter and started mocking the liberal media, the liberal media was bound and determined to portray him as ruining his reputation. On Christmas morning, the headline on the front page of The Washington Post was “Musk’s Twitter drama depletes his stature: Erratic leadership spurs a crisis of confidence across tech empire.”
Online, it was “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.” This hit piece by tech reporter Faiz Siddiqui was loaded with bitter anonymous sources.
The story began with an unnamed Twitter employee challenging Musk when he said Twitter’s code needed a complete rewrite: “One of the participants asked what he meant — pushing for him to explain it from top to bottom.” Musk then apparently said “Amazing, wow…You’re a jackass…what a moron.” Then Siddiqui added: “The incident highlights the new reality facing Musk, who also runs Tesla and SpaceX: a crisis of confidence in his once-unquestioned brilliance.”
This is what people should hate about recreated conversations from anonymous employees. We don’t have an actual quote challenging Musk, so we can judge just how hostile it was. But it’s created a “crisis of confidence.” His reputation for brilliance is “unraveling.”
Musk responded to this by warning the media to worry about its own reputation and that “we have only just begun.”
Since taking over as Twitter CEO Musk has confirmed just how corrupt Twitter was.
The democrats and mainstream media are trying to stop Musk because he is exposing the truth.
Top 2 things that journalists hate:
1) Free Speech
2) Speaking Truth to Power
Don't know about the rest of you, I'm putting a buy order in today. EV's aren't replacements for gas powered vehicles or even for hybrids. I view them as a tool in an arsenal. They have their place.
This coming from the guy who purchased a 2023 Tacoma TRD Offroad and LOVES IT!
Go Elon Go! Give 'em hell!!
2) Speaking Truth to ANYBODY...........................
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin’ the signs along the way
Talkin’ it over, just the two of us
Workin’ together day to day
Strangers in many ways.......................
MSM is not comprised of actual journalists. They’re all activists. They will do and say anything to push the marxist agenda, including and especially, suppressing free speech when it suits them.
When you’re targeted by MSM, you’re doing something right . . .
The press built him up, the press can knock him down.
I mark all of this uproar over Musk’s moves with TwitTer as just another sign civilization is in decline and we are on a fast track to a new - and deadly - Dark Ages.
Anyone that is against shining light on the lies the gov’t and tech tyrants have been telling us is communist and should be dropped from a helicopter.
I want Musk to expose the truth about the collusion between the media and the dem party in subjecting the country to the Russian Collusion hoax. It would also be great to uncover the plot to have a riot on January 6th.
For his investment to pay off he has to restore Twitter’s reputation. By acting all outraged that he is telling the truth about them they are actually helping him.
You're right. It's time to come up with a new name for 'journalists' Their job now is to defend the power and lies of corrupt liberal 'elites'. Calling them 'butt kissers of 'elites' is too common... And 'thugs and goons' is already being used to describe FBI and Homeland agents...
Another old adage comes to mind, "He who laughs last..."
A billionaire ‘declassifying’ sacred Twitter docs is a thing to behold.
Govt seals those up for decades.. Govt apparently doesn’t own Twitter anymore.
No wonder the propaganda press is so fired up against Elon.
He’s the media now.
Using one of their former chess pieces against them..
Twitter by the end of 2022 as an asset for transparency.
Not sure many would have been too confident that score showing up on a football square..
The FBI's pulled the stings at the Washington Post for decades... Deep Throat was a disgruntled FBI agent who hated conservative Americans.
Insider intelligence information gets fed to the bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the Washington Post and in exchange goons get their 'words out' and their power reinforced.
Sic em, Elon……
