Elon Musk slams The New York Times

“The New York Times has emerged as a new, chaotic actor in global politics. The paper’s interventions in some of the world’s most combustible conflicts have sometimes been a boon, but their messaging has also caused problems.”

A Twitter user who supported Musk pointed out that the New York Times had reported on December 8, 1903 that man won’t fly for another million years.

However, only 9 days later the Wright brothers created history by taking to the skies in the world’s first plane that was ever built.

Another Twitter user said: The story behind media coverage – or lack thereof – of the Wright Brothers is really an amazing story. One of the most remarkable feats in the history of humanity was being done, *openly and visibly*, and the media was repeatedly informed of it, and yet they refused to cover it.

The New York Times, on its part, lambasted Musk saying he “has in recent months emerged as a new, chaotic actor on the stage of global politics.”

“In the last four weeks, Elon Musk has offered a peace plan for Russia and Ukraine that outraged Ukrainian officials. He has posted a tweet about Iranian internet access that exposed government protesters to a phishing scheme. He has also suggested in a newspaper interview that China could be appeased if it were given partial control of Taiwan. An official in Taipei demanded that he retract his suggestion, the paper said.
