Elon Musk Pitches ‘Pravda,’ Site to Rate Journalists’ Credibility

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced plans for a new website aimed towards ranking and rating the work of journalists and media companies.

In a series of posts to Twitter, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk announced possible plans to create a website where the public can rate the work of media companies and journalists. Musk stated that he was thinking of calling the website “Pravda,” previously the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

One Twitter user questioned whether the public would support the project, but Musk claimed to have “faith in the people.”

Musk went on a tirade about media companies that “sugarcoat the lie” earlier in the day, calling them “holier-than-thou”

Musk also claimed that the site would flag “propaganda botnets.”

One user described the project as “Yelp for journalists” referencing the popular restaurant and venue reviewing app,

Tech writer Mark Harris noted that Musk might have already registered the company name Pravda Corp. Musk’s new project was registered as a foreign corporation in the state of Delaware on October 18 of last year. The company’s officer is Jared Birchall, the President of Neuralink and director of The Boring Company, both projects run by Musk.

Musk has claimed that Pravda would move forward “soon as I’m done working on the [Tesla] Model 3.”
