Musk accused Reuters of publishing paid propaganda

American entrepreneur Ilon Musk called Reuters materials paid propaganda.

"This explains a lot of things. Shame on Reuters. Paid propaganda!" - he wrote on his page in the social network X (former Twitter).

Thus Musk commented on the publication of one of the users of the social network, in which the one said that the agency's materials related to the entrepreneur and his company Tesla, were funded by the administration of Joe Biden with the help of government contracts worth $300 million.

Musk has previously repeatedly criticized traditional media, accusing them of lying to readers. Earlier, on September 21, Ilon Musk called the American media a propaganda machine of the US Democratic Party.

In March, Musk said on social media that "traditional media outlets lie as easily as they breathe, Reuters is now the worst of them."

Meanwhile, on August 17, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that the U.S. authorities have ceased to fear for their reputation and now do not shy away from total censorship, adhering to double standards in the issue of freedom of speech.
