Axios CEO Jim VandeHei blasted billionaire Elon Musk for telling X users after the election that they 'are the media now,' calling it 'bulls---.'
Axios CEO Jim VandeHei and X owner Elon Musk locked horns over who defines 'the media' in the wake of the election. In the early morning hours of Nov. 6, as Donald Trump was being declared president-elect, Musk wrote to his X followers, 'You are the media now,' a sentiment he has repeated in the weeks since. VandeHei delivered a fiery speech in response on Thursday as he was honored, along with his Axios co-founder Mike Allen, with the National Press Club’s Fourth Estate Award.
For the third consecutive year, more U.S. adults have no trust at all in the media than trust it a great deal or fair amount. Another 33% of Americans express ‘not very much’ confidence,' Gallup Senior Editor Megan Brenan wrote. Polling also indicates that the news media is the 'least trusted group among 10 U.S. civic and political institutions,' with the U.S. Congress only slightly behind at 34%.
