Elon Musk is going to war with the mainstream media. The Tesla and Space X founder, who says he'll be starting a new website dedicated to press accountability, has spent much of the past week railing against what he has branded the “holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies.” Initially, some industry commentators believed he was joking. Now, they are not so sure. 

The technological creations from Musk, who is known to use Twitter as a headline-generating machine, have been lauded by the mainstream media for years. From rocket launchers to tunnel digging to flamethrowers, he is often seen as a media darling. But the catalyst for his most recent social network critique appears to be negative coverage about a spate of recent crashes involving his electric vehicles. In early May, he lambasted a Washington Post report on the subject as being “messed up.”
