Elon Musk goes on rant against the media criticizing Tesla

Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk launched another Twitter tirade on Wednesday, this time aimed at the media's coverage of his electric car company, Tesla. Musk took'big media companies' to task in a series of tweets, saying the public doesn't respect them anymore because of their'holier-than-thou hypocrisy' and because they'claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie'. After a reporter from the Verge retorted by calling him a'media-bating Trump figure,' Musk sharply replied by saying President Donald Trump was elected because no one believes the media anymore. Rumors are circling that SpaceX boss Elon Musk is planning to launch his own'intergalactic media empire.' The Daily Beast reported that he's poached writers and editors from the Onion for a secret satirical news project.
