Musk accused the New York Times of attacking freedom of speech.

American billionaire and entrepreneur Elon Musk on social network X accused the New York Times of attacks on freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

“The New York Times is attacking *your* freedom of speech!” – Musk wrote on his page.


The businessman’s dissatisfaction was caused by a newspaper article entitled “The First Amendment has gotten out of control.” Musk attached a screenshot of the caption to the post.


He also agreed with X users who said the New York Times had become “garbage” and “out of control.”

Previously, news agencies Reuters and the Associated Press were criticized by Musk. He called Reuters the “worst” traditional media in the world. The entrepreneur was dissatisfied with the information coverage of the economic and investment activities of the electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla. He called the Associated Press an “extreme left-wing propaganda machine,” thus criticizing it for trying to refute one of the incidents with US President Joe Biden, in which the head of state freezes in public.
