    Here’s a link to a Bloomberg story about that.
    Musk Filed for Pravda Business Months Before Scorning the Media

    On a message board that aims to be for journalists, I think it’s important to say “so-and-so reoported” or something more specific than “people noticed.”

    Honestly, I wasn't regurgitating a Bloomberg (or anyone else's) story. The whole thing started with some guy tweeting about it in response to Musk that day. Here was the tweet. It's what put me (a bunch of independent sites linked to the tweet -- where I first picked it up) onto it:



    I'd actually guess that Bloomberg first got it from there. ... and they didn't credit the guy.

    I suspect Mr. Musk was waiting for exactly this (kind of) moment - cool car, no brakes - to suggest the press are the problem.

    So we're all talking about his journalistic counterinsurgency instead of cool car, no brakes.

    Thanks for doubling back there. I’m sure there were plenty of folks who found that before Bloomberg (not my employer nor my favorite news source btw). My point wasn’t about giving them credit. It was a request to avoid vague citations when possible. Very trustworthy people tell me the president is Kenyan, and the like.

    Elon Musk - cool car, no brakes - dog whistles the usual suspects.



    On the upside, he's getting terrific coverage on RT and in the Daily Stormer.

    If you think the story I linked is "terrific coverage" of Musk . . . we just disagree on such things, I guess. Unless I misinterpreted your use of the word to mean "positively skewed" instead of "a lot of".

    If you Google 'elon musk media' right now, that RT story is boxed at the top of the page.

    USAA has the top 10 vehicles purchased by members of the armed forces. Top 3 are pick up trucks. Ford. Chevy. Dodge #6 is the Jeep Wrangler. The other 6 are Honda and Toyota cars and the Nissan Altima.

    It might be time for him to go after the police. Can anyone check to see if he incorporated Fuzz Inc. last October?

    Just heard a report that Consumer Report has reversed course and is now recommending the Tesla Model 3, based on the software update that Tesla pushed to fix the braking issue.
