On a lighter note: Irked by journalists, and despite his new girlfriend, Elon Musk decides to take up ranking

by David Todd | May 25, 2018 | On a Lighter Note, SpaceX

While he might have a new girlfriend (the 30 year-old Canadian female singer Grimes) this has not tempered SpaceX supreme leader Elon Musk’s irascibility. Having been irritated by journalists reporting the woes at his Tesla car plant, Elon has decided to create a ranking website for journalists who would be publicly rated on the basis of their quality and trustworthiness. Elon joked that the website might be called Pravda (after the infamous Soviet mouthpiece).

Comment by David Todd: No doubt Elon will be the final arbiter/adjudicator of any ranking. As such, your correspondent would just like Elon Musk know that he has always regarded him as a bloody good bloke! 🙂
