For years, the media built up Elon Musk and got the public to buy into the myth of his genius. Now the truth of who he is can’t be hidden and changing how they cover Musk isn’t enough.

The media failed us. They not only need to inform the public about the harms of Musk’s empire, but change how they cover the entire tech industry so another grifter can’t replicate his rise. They owe us nothing less.

The media's failure on Elon Musk

After building him up, they need to tear him down

@parismarx the media (and Forbes) also failed with Sam Bankman-Fried, Bernie Madoff, CZ, Elizabeth Holmes, all crypto (creep-to), probably failing LIVE with most of the AI FOMO/hype… etc… too much hype, clickbait articles, too little investigative reporting.

@oscarsalguero @parismarx if I want to see who the up and coming new tech grifters are, I go to #Forbes.
