Can Elon Musk break the news?
Fox News
Elon Musk doesn't just break news, he also is attempting to break the legacy media's grip on news itself.
David Marcus is a columnist living in New York City and the author of "Charade: The COVID Lies That Crushed A Nation."
The billionaire tycoon behind Tesla and SpaceX has not been shy about his desire to make his latest toy, Twitter, a platform on which a new kind of journalism can emerge and thrive. He has spoken up recently about the value of citizen journalism and criticized the "media elite," calling their control of the news an "oligopoly on information".
Taiibi’s pre-announced tweet thread on December 2nd utterly circumvented the mainstream media, depriving it of its usual role of curating how revelations such as the efforts to suppress the laptop story are presented to the public. This is a potential sea change in how journalism in America operates, and it's not just Musk.
