Elon Musk: Media Manipulates by Controlling the Narrative—Not Just by Lying

Elon Musk: The media sure like controlling information.

“The biggest point of manipulation that occurs in the media is not when the media says something that's false or misleading – they do that – but their choice of narrative. What are they going to talk about?

By choosing to focus on one thing and not focus on another thing, they're steering what information the public receives.

Whereas, I think the right thing is that the narratives that are important should be the narratives that the people as a whole think are important, not what a few media oligarchs think is important.

But they sure like controlling information.”
