The media is trying to stop Elon Musk.
Their newest attack is claiming that his reputation is suffering because of what he is done on Twitter.
The Washington Post ran an article titled “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.”
The Washington Post reported:
That crisis accelerated as Tesla stock prices plunged nearly 20 percent this week to $123 per share on Friday, largely due to concerns about Musk. Also this week, roughly 58 percent of 17 million Twitter accounts that responded to an unscientific poll from Musk said he should step down as Twitter CEO, after helping create, then reverse new policies that proved controversial last weekend.
“Historically he’s been a pendulum between genius and reckless,” said Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures. “He’s on reckless right now. He’s way over recklessness.”
Munster added, “It leaves people to view him … as slightly less of a genius.”
…
Musk is repeatedly described as a man obsessed with Twitter in all the wrong ways, who is failing both at protecting his new investment and his previous ones, according to interviews with a half-dozen former Twitter employees and people in Musk’s orbit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution or because they were not authorized to speak publicly about company matters.
The Washington Post used anonymous Twitter sources to try and further hurt his reputation.
Newsbusters reported:
Once Elon Musk took over Twitter and started mocking the liberal media, the liberal media was bound and determined to portray him as ruining his reputation. On Christmas morning, the headline on the front page of The Washington Post was “Musk’s Twitter drama depletes his stature: Erratic leadership spurs a crisis of confidence across tech empire.”
Online, it was “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.” This hit piece by tech reporter Faiz Siddiqui was loaded with bitter anonymous sources.
The story began with an unnamed Twitter employee challenging Musk when he said Twitter’s code needed a complete rewrite: “One of the participants asked what he meant — pushing for him to explain it from top to bottom.” Musk then apparently said “Amazing, wow…You’re a jackass…what a moron.” Then Siddiqui added: “The incident highlights the new reality facing Musk, who also runs Tesla and SpaceX: a crisis of confidence in his once-unquestioned brilliance.”
This is what people should hate about recreated conversations from anonymous employees. We don’t have an actual quote challenging Musk, so we can judge just how hostile it was. But it’s created a “crisis of confidence.” His reputation for brilliance is “unraveling.”
Musk responded to this by warning the media to worry about its own reputation and that “we have only just begun.”
The legacy media should worry about its reputation. We have only just begun.

Anyone who is questioning Musk’s genius, is not very smart themselves!
The leftist democrats are scare
now along with the biased media I myself have way more admiration for Elon than before and I would suspect the majority of American people want to know the real truth hats off to you Elon
I very much doubt that Musk cares about his “reputation”, especially when it’s coming from lamestream media. None of these people are paying his bills, so why should he care?!
Over Half the Country stands with Elon Musk. He IS Brilliant. The Left likes Destroying people, heroes, religions, more’s, institutions and entire civilizations. It’s what they do. It reminds me of a character in the Bible. But the Left will collapse because it is false. Falsities can be spread quickly and easily. Truth takes a while to overcome falsity, but it does. Elon is LOVED by America for all he is single-handedly accomplishing, and we appreciate him for taking on the Left with all their lies, and exposing them. But we are not surprised that the Left is retaliating by trying to destroy him for it. But it sounds as though Elon isn’t surprised by it either, and they aren’t getting to him! He has nothing to hide, like Trump. The Left has a way of trying to make American Heroes look like they’re ‘losing’, but it is only because they are so fractured by the fact that THEY are the losers in this struggle for Truth to be exposed. Light overpowers Darkness every time. It exposes them. And once they are exposed, like the Wizard of Oz, and the witches in that story, they just melt away into oblivion. Trust lives on. Or, do you not think it ‘weird’ that all the Left LOVED Elon so much until he stood up for Truth??? and now they can’t STAND him??? again, just like Trump. They LOVED him and all his pomp and $$$$$. But when he stated his LOVE for America, and told the Truth about ‘what was going on in DC’, all of a sudden, they HATED him with a vengeance that has never stopped! And now they hate Elon. But the People are seeing this before our eyes, and we remember, and we don’t like what we see about the Left – who are soooooo fickle, so destructive, and so hateful. And people are turning… and the Light is winning! as it always will once curtains are opened, and it is let in. Just one beam of Light is all it takes to utterly dispel darkness! Try it. You’ll like it. Lots of people are starting to see again.
