He even addressed this style of response directly in one tweet.

And finally he suggested and then ran a twitter poll on the idea of creating a media credibility monitoring website.

- Rapzid 8y agoMusk is not entirely wrong, but things are heated ATM and he's not the best messenger perhaps at this time. The NY times article is incredibly focused on pushing a narrative; no mention of space-x or the purchasing of solar city ahead of CAs recent roof top solar mandate.. It's an opinion piece, I get that. But serious news organizations can't keep pulling the opinion card to excuse away posting purposefully inflammatory, divisive, and dishonest "journalism" if they want to be taken seriously. It's really sad to me that the NYT would be party to such hit pieces, but this is 2018 I suppose. P.S. I vouched this thread as I believe HN can have an honest, civil discussion about both Elon Musk's business shortcomings and the medias credibility issues.
