ELON: ORDINARY CITIZENS VERY OFTEN KNOW MORE THAN JOURNALISTS “I think the media is a driver of misinformation much more than the media would like to admit that they are. In a lot of cases, it is the average citizen that knows more than the journalist. Very often, when I see an article about something that I know a lot about, and I read the article, they get a lot wrong. It's the best interpretation of someone who doesn't really understand what's going on in the industry, has only a few facts to play with, and has to come up with an article. It's not going to hit the bullseye. If you read an article about something you know about, how accurate is that article? Now, imagine that that is how essentially all articles are. They're an approximation of what's going on, but not an exact situation. If somebody is actually an expert in the field, and was actually there and then writes about their experience of being actually there, I think that actually that's, in a lot of cases, going to be better than a journalist because the journalist wasn't there.” Source: Interview with the BBC, April 2023
