Elon Musk is making headlines once again, and this time, it’s not about rockets, robots, or self-driving cars. The billionaire tech mogul has taken aim at the media, **accusing major outlets of inciting coordinated attacks on Tesla** and pushing what he calls a dangerous narrative designed to destroy his credibility—and his company.
In a series of explosive posts on X (formerly Twitter), Musk didn’t hold back.
> “The media isn’t just biased—they’re hostile. Tesla is under constant attack because we threaten the status quo. This is a **conspiracy**, plain and simple.”

The allegations come after a recent wave of negative headlines targeting Tesla’s safety records, labor conditions, and financial forecasts. According to Musk, this isn’t just journalism—it’s a **calculated smear campaign** intended to sway public opinion and **shake investor confidence**.
Musk’s bold claims have instantly sparked fierce debate. Supporters rally behind him, calling out what they see as unfair treatment of Tesla in the press. Hashtags like **#StandWithTesla** and **#ExposeTheMedia** began trending within hours of his posts. Others, however, argue that Musk is deflecting criticism and trying to silence valid concerns through sensationalism.
Tesla, the crown jewel of Musk’s empire, has always been in the media spotlight—but recent months have seen **increased scrutiny from watchdog groups, regulators, and journalists**, particularly surrounding autonomous driving safety and internal company culture. Musk says the timing is no coincidence.
> “When you build something that disrupts trillion-dollar industries, you make enemies. Some very powerful ones.”
Musk has long had a turbulent relationship with the media, frequently clashing with journalists, challenging narratives, and even starting his own satire site—_Thud_—in the past. But this latest accusation brings things to a new level, as he directly ties **media narratives to real-world threats against Tesla’s reputation and stock value.**
Market analysts are watching closely. Despite the controversy, **Tesla shares have shown resilience**, with some investors betting that public support for Musk will outweigh the backlash. Others remain cautious, warning that Musk’s combative approach could **alienate stakeholders or trigger further investigations**.
Meanwhile, Musk continues to double down, promising to reveal “who’s really behind the scenes” in the coming weeks. Whether that’s bluster or bombshell, one thing’s certain: **this fight is far from over**.
