Why does mainstream media target Elon Musk so relentlessly?
Recent analyses highlight the scale:
• 96% of network news coverage (ABC, NBC, CBS) about him was negative in early 2025 (Media Research Center)
• He accounts for over 80% of all negative CEO stories across outlets — of 100 critical pieces on top executives, roughly 80 focus on him (Signal AI analysis of 50 leading CEOs)
This pattern isn’t accidental. X challenges the legacy media gatekeeper model.
On X, left and right receive the same algorithmic reach and tools like Community Notes for crowd-sourced fact-checking, without editorial filters deciding what appears.
Traditional outlets rely on narrative control for ads, subscriptions, and influence. As audiences migrate to unfiltered, citizen-driven news on X, those outlets risk losing revenue and relevance.
The intense scrutiny reads like defensive behavior against disruption
