Read these articles with a grain of salt. Media has tremendous bias against Elon because:

He threatens their power and politics.

He stopped being their green-tech hero the moment he bought Twitter, cut the censorship they liked, and backed Trump. Left-leaning newsrooms treat that as betrayal. X lets ordinary people bypass them. “You are the media now” is an existential threat to outlets whose business depends on controlling the narrative.

He hammers their credibility daily (calling them propaganda, highlighting their collapsed trust ratings). They retaliate with wall-to-wall negative framing.

Studies show it: ~96% negative coverage on major network evening news in 2025—worse than Trump. Same events get friendly treatment on the right.
