LIZ: YOU KNOW HOW THE PRESIDENT
TALKS ABOUT FAKE NEWS?
LOOK WHO ELSE IS TALKING ABOUT
FAKE NEWS.
THE HYPOCRISY OF BIG MEDIA
COMPANIES ABOUT HOW THEY COVER
HIS CAR CRASHES, HE'S SAYING
THEY GET IT DEAD WRONG ALL THE
TIME.
AND LOOK WHAT MUSK IS TALKING
ABOUT.
HE WANTS TO START A WEBSITE
WHICH GETS THIS, WOULD LET THE
PUBLIC, YOU, GIVE A REPORT CARD
ON JOURNALISTS.
MUSK GOING SO FAR AS TO POLL
TWITTER FOLLOWERS ON WHETHER HE
SHOULD LAUNCH IT.
THEY RESPONDED NEARLY 9 OUT OF
10 SAID YES, WE SUPPORT WHAT
YOU WANT TO DO ELON MUSK.
LET THE PUBLIC GIVE REPORT CARD
GRADES TO JOURNALISTS AND
REPORTERS.
MUSK INVENTS A LOT OF THINGS,
MAYBE HE'LL DO IT.
I'M BRINGING IN AL MUDDER AND
KRISTEN TEAGUE.
YOU LIKE THIS IDEA?
>> I THINK IT COULD BE
PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL.
EVERYTHING HE DOES MAKES NEWS
AND EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS
HOLDS WEIGHT, SO TO SEE HIM
TAKE ON THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, I
SAY MORE POWER TO HIM, HE HAS A
POINT THAT A LOT OF JOURNALISTS
TODAY ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF
GETTING CLICKS AND EYEBALLS.
LIZ: WHAT DID HE SAY WAS WRONG
ABOUT THE CRASH OF THE WOMAN
WHO DROVE HER TESLA INTO THE
BACK OF A FIRE TRUCK?
>> SHE BROKE HER ANKLE, THAT'S
NOT GREAT, BUT IT WAS FRONT
PAGE STORY.
HE WAS MAKING THE POINT THAT
EVERY YEAR THERE ARE 40,000
FATAL CAR CRASHES AND ONE WOMAN
BREAKS HER ANKLE IN A TESLA
CRASH, HE HAS A POINT.
LIZ: ELON MUSK IS SAYING LISTEN
YOU DON'T RELINQUISH CONTROL OF
THE CAR WHEN YOU SIT IN A TESLA
SELF-DRIVING VEHICLE, YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONE HAND ON
THE WHEEL.
HE'S SAYING REPORTERS ARE
MISSING THAT ANGLE AND THE
CRITIC OF A CEO OF A PUBLICLY
TRADED COMPANY SHOULDN'T BE
ACTING LIKE THIS?
>> HE'S TAKING A PAGE OUT OF
THE PRESIDENT'S PLAYBOOK AND
BASHING THE MEDIA.
ELON MUSK WANTS TO BUILD THE
HYPERLOOP TRAIN.
WANTS TO BUILD ROCKETS INTO
OUTER SPACE.
HOW DOES HE WANT TO DO IT?
WITHOUT THE HEAVY HAND OF
REGULATION.
HE'S ALWAYS IN THE WHITE HOUSE,
HE BASH THE MEDIA TO TAKE THE
ATTENTION AWAY FROM FACTS THAT
ARE ON THE PLAYING FIELD AND
WANTS TO TILT THAT PLAYING
FIELD IN HIS FAVOR IN TERMS OF
COMPETITORS.
LIZ: WHAT DO YOU THINK, AL
MAKES IMPORTANT POINT THERE?
>> THE BIGGER POINT BEYOND
TESLA, THIS IS ABOUT THE MEDIA.
ELON MUSK IS SENDING A MESSAGE
THAT RESONATES WITH SO MANY
AMERICANS.
THAT'S WHAT WE SAW IN THE 2016
ELECTION.
DONALD TRUMP DID THE SAME
THING, AND CNN, NBC, CNBC, ALL
THESE OUTLETS, THEY'VE
DETERIORATED INTO THESE
SENSATIONALIZED LEFT-WING
HORNETS NESTS AND GREAT TO HAVE
SOMEONE CALL THEM OUT ON THIS.
"GALLUP" DID A POLL THAT SHOWED
THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DO
NOT TRUST THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
AND SEEING THAT TRANSLATE INTO
THE RATINGS.
NICKELODEON IS BEATING CNN.
LIZ: NICKELODEON?
WOW!
AL, FINAL WORDS?
>> I DIRECT YOUR VIEWERS TO
ELON MUSK'S TERRIBLE RECENT
EARNINGS CALL.
THAT'S WHY HE'S ATTACKING THE
MEDIA, HE DOESN'T LIKE WHAT
THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT THE BAD
THINGS HAPPENING AT HIS
COMPANY.
>> I LOVE THIS PANEL.
