The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

7%

Examples:

  • It destroys the rule of law if a businessperson can cut a deal with a president to protect his own business interests.
  • Many of Musk's changes to X have also contributed to a rightward shift in the platform's culture.
  • The privilege of whispering in Trump's ear, should he win reelection, could give the billionaire even more power on the global stage.

Conflicts of Interest

75%

Examples:

  • Musk's various businesses, most notably SpaceX and Tesla, benefit from direct government contracts and federal subsidies.

Contradictions

86%

Examples:

  • Elon Musk is reportedly exploring the possibility of becoming an adviser to Donald Trump in a potential 2024 presidency.
  • It's unclear who initiated the conversations about the potential role.
  • Musk has discussed this role with Trump via cellphone.
  • Musk served on two business advisory councils in the previous Trump administration before quitting over the Paris climate agreement.

Deceptions

83%

Examples:

  • Citing a baseless claim about the attack on Paul Pelosi, the anti-Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory known as 'Pizzagate', and an antisemitic conspiracy theory often espoused by hate groups (the latter of which Musk later apologized for).
