Elon Musk: The average citizen often knows more than the journalist.

“The media is a driver of misinformation much more than they would like to admit. In a lot of cases, it is the average citizen that knows more than the journalist. Very often, when I see an article about something that I know a lot about, they get a lot wrong.

It's the best interpretation of someone who doesn't really understand what's going on in the industry.

If somebody is actually an expert in the field, and was actually there and then writes about their experience, I think that's going to be better than a journalist.”
