Musk Creates Site To Rate Urinalists and Media

[Solar]

What do you think of the idea?
I like it, but will it work?

If state filings are any guide, Tesla Inc.'s Elon Musk wasn't joking about setting up a site that would enable news consumers to evaluate the veracity of media reports.

"Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication," the chief executive officer wrote Wednesday on Twitter. "Thinking of calling it Pravda..."

Even if some of the public doesn't care about the credibility score, the journalists, editors & publications will. It is how they define themselves.

This could be intetesting. Not that i believe anything like this will be objective, but the libs will put alot of stock in it.
What this needs to be is a site that only reflects the peoples opinions. It must only display vote totals on whether the populace THINKs various media entities are trustworthy. This wouldnt be a site to determine onjective truth, but simply to accurately reflect the reputation the media has with we the people.

Let's see here. We have a leftist federal teat sucker creating a site for people to give opinion on news. Looks like a perfect setup for the left to overwhelm the site with opinions.

That's the thing. Should it be only by vote, or allow people to actually critique the article based on facts?
It will be interesting anyway.

That was my thought as well, but Musk is smart and knows if he wants to continue sucking at the teat, he'll have to get the public on his side and what better way to do it, that attacking a lying media?
I see this akin to when Drudge started his site, it took off like a wildfire and now we have thousands of news disseminating sites all over the web, I can see the same thing happening if Musk is successful, that would guarantee a Conservative voice, much like this site does.

If he does, I hope he spends his own cash.

Is any of it really "His Cash"?

[Cryptic Bert]

Maybe this is why his cars continue to explode. He's busy trying to change the world for the worse like a good little liberal instead of focusing on why his cars tend to blow up.

My thoughts exactly.

Good point, actually.
People look at this little Taxpayer Teat Leech as some kind of business genius, when in fact he manipulates the government contractual system, be it, lobbyists, greasing palms, or fooling the left into thinking he's doing all this shit for the planet, when in fact, he uses the govt teat like his own personal ATM.
Truth is, the politicians are afraid to let him fail for CYA reasons, they have way too much invested in him, he's a google, they are only as big as they are thanks to the CIA, so if Musk were to be cut off from funding, his entire operation would collapse along with thousands of investors, including leftists in both party's. (Google would suffer the same fate if the Taxpayer Teat were to dry up.)

Musk knows this and because of it, sees himself as an invincible innovator. The bigger question now, is who is worried about this endeavor, the press, or his investors.
In other words, is this a ploy to milk more taxpayer dollars from scared Pols, or a way to corral the media into his corner?
Shit like this scares the Hell out of the leftists because they made him and now he's manipulating them. Musk altruistic? Only where his income is concerned, but like I said, he may have inadvertently started something that even he can't control.

IF he was not manipulating then he would open google to Conservatives and not make google a echo chamber for the left.

Faceplant is another leftist site created by the CIA, Suckerberg is not the genius the left portrays him as, he's more of a modern day Eddy Haskel, in that he's nothing more than a thief and conman. CIA made him rich as the front man for a data sniffing scam on the American public.
All of these entities would collapse if they were forced to stand on their own.
