Media Bias

Now, this new transformation, just proves that all of that was for show and trying to make money off of the issue.  I'm sure you can see why liberals that bought his cars thinking they are saving the planet would be turned off by him now.

It's similar to conservatives LOVE him now because he bought twitter and was going to save the world by exposing all the biases that were imbedded in the old ownership/management.  Meanwhile, he's just as bad as them or worse....but conservatives still love him because now he's biased in their direction.

When did Elon start complaint about the mainstream traditional media being untrustworthy or dying?   2022, 2023, 2024?

2018 when he was rolling around the Democrat utopia space.   He’s blasted the media when he voted Blue and when he voted Red.   Your criticism of him as written by you makes no sense.

I never said anything about when he started. I really don’t care. All I said is that he does it. 
 

I stand by my statements. I also blasted Fox News and rush and they started back in the 90s. Doesn’t change anything. You’ve fallen for a bunch of their BS. Congrats.

I don’t listen to Rush (nor do any of us) nor do I watch FoxNews at all.  Like zero.  I don’t watch any cable news outside of election night coverage.   I’ve only listened to 3 total episodes of Joe Rogan but listen to local sports radio, Sirius college sports station and CNN when im in my car.   Congrats for trying to spread even more lies! 
 

BTW.   You must not remember your posting as you claimed Elon says yo lot trust the media because they are Left.   His past statements on the issue disprove your claims.   But hey, at least you get to parrot talking points from others who also want to spread disinformation about people.

I love the fact that he used to be very in vogue with the left...it was Tesla this, and Space X that, and OMG he launched a convertible into space...that's so cool. 

Then, when he bought Twitter, and it became obvious he was a conservative, he became an outcast, a pariah for libs, and nothing he did or does could ever be viewed positively. I will post in the Shed a tweet which relates to this.

But what do you love about this?

Elon also used to be a San Francisco tech bro who happily ran in Lib circles and whose companies benefitted hugely from government policies, contracts and loans.

When he decided to declare himself  politically conservative, use the social media platform he bought to spread spurious rightwing messaging, pretend his success wasn't beholden to taxpayer assistance, and started buying influence for a new Trump administration, why wouldn't liberals turn on him? 

I thought launching a Tesla convertible in space with a spaceman in the driver's seat was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen a company do. Why should that prevent me from criticizing what Elon Musk has done since then?

All we have to go on are the things you post and the occasional links to the source. And some of those have been real social media bottom-feeders. So congratulations on not watching Fox News, but........

Unless it’s my opinion, I almost always link to a source.  Which are great places for you to gain more knowledge on subjects worth learning about.   My hope is you’ve taken the time to use what was given to you.

I mean, if I remember correctly, if you link a source that source is the "expert"!

I was merely suggesting that while you claim not to get your information from Fox News or Joe Rogan or other right leaning sites you were "accused" of frequenting, you have a long and verifiable history of reposting partisan horses#!t from social media trolls.  

You also have a history of posting stories with headlines that serve your purpose, but you don't bother to read the full story, which often contradicts the very point you're trying to make. 

For Christmas I'm offering you both the gift of knowledge and the grace of forgiveness. I ask for nothing in return.

Nope….that’s what he’s been posting for the last couple years. I’m standing by that even if you want to soak in his crap.
