@adnroy Um, you just tweeted about this, so obv you do

@southtopia Thank you! I thought it was so obvious …

@AltWouss @jackallisonLOL @ParkerMolloy Exactly. UAW does not have individual stock ownership as part of the compensation at any other company.

@PolitiFact Yeah, I think you do great work

If you’re in media & don’t want Pravda to exist, write an article telling your readers to vote against it …

@meharris 🤗

@ParkerMolloy I’ve never stopped a union vote nor removed a union. UAW abandoned this factory. Tesla arrived & gave people back their jobs. They haven’t forgotten UAW betrayed them. That’s why UAW can’t even get people to attend a free BBQ, let alone enough sigs for a vote.

@meharris Of course

@scottwww @JessicaHuseman It is strange that big auto companies literally have thousands more factory injuries than Tesla & millions more auto deaths, but somehow get less coverage. We are not perfect, but we’re doing our best to make clean energy real & be a good company.

@JessicaHuseman @reveal No, they’re just some rich kids in Berkeley who took their political science prof too seriously

@iShashankBhatia Will do

Create a media credibility rating site (that also flags propaganda botnets)

@scotch_io That’s why editors are included too

@SophieWarnes We don’t. The media is reporting someone else saying that Tesla advertised. It is untrue.

Even if some of the public doesn’t care about the credibility score, the journalists, editors & publications will. It is how they define themselves.

@DetroitVictoria Enough of the public does care about the truth. I have faith in the people.

@AntVenom Maybe some good people from those orgs who would join

@Virtualanom Not only needs to be botproof, but seek & unmask anyone operating a disinformation bot army

@sakiwebo Exactly

Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication. Thinking of calling it Pravda …

@dancow @WSJ An exception that proves the rule

@CodyBrown Uh, this is Twitter. How many characters do you want?

Problem is journos are under constant pressure to get max clicks & earn advertising dollars or get fired. Tricky situation, as Tesla doesn’t advertise, but fossil fuel companies & gas/diesel car companies are among world’s biggest advertisers.

@teddymonacelli The media has earned this mistrust. But maybe there is a solution.

@jaspar Oh hey another sanctimonious media person who thinks he’s above criticism. Try being truthful & the public will believe you again.

@andyjayhawk Thought you’d say that. Anytime anyone criticizes the media, the media shrieks “You’re just like Trump!” Why do you think he got elected in the first place? Because no ones believes you any more. You lost your credibility a long time ago.

The holier-than-thou hypocrisy of big media companies who lay claim to the truth, but publish only enough to sugarcoat the lie, is why the public no longer respects them https://t.co/Ay2DwCOMkr

@girllovesbread @ZainRaz4 @mashable This will sound super obvious, but Genesis & Oblivion

@JohnBirmingham @mashable I am not cool

@ZainRaz4 @mashable The one about to come out called So Heavy i fell through the earth

@mashable Was sad to see G getting tons of undeserved flak because of me, so I’m glad there’s some good too ♥️🎼🐇. Her music is incredible.

@bevvscott Thanks. Not super fun right now 😔

@kulpability @DeusEx Busted 👻

@CateLuvsLondon @Aceinmysleeve1 @ericbrownzzz @dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA None of those criteria are certain by themselves, but when taken together & messages have an obv agenda, it almost always indicates use of a network of self-validating troll accounts

@Aceinmysleeve1 @ericbrownzzz @dmatkins137 @ShayneRarma @NASA Troll dead giveaways: not using real names, obv fake pics & backgrounds, low follower/follow ratio, account recently created, repeating same phrases, etc (sigh)
