For several years Donald trump regularly complains about so-called fake news. However, if such words of the President of the United States, people often through the lens of political views, another victim of dishonest media, most Americans will only be positive. We are talking about the famous businessman and inventor Ilona Mask.
December 9, the CBS has published an interview with billionaire, which he gave in the framework of 60 Minutes. Many viewers were looking forward to this episode, hoping that Musk will talk about the latest events in the life of his companies. However, instead of a full interview, CBS published a few excerpts, with a total duration of 14 minutes. And here began the most interesting.

It soon became clear that the authors of the program not only cut most of the interview, but twisted the words of Elon musk. Some of the statements of the businessman out of context, and in other cases, simply cut the replica to a single word. Naturally, the billionaire did not appreciate the Amateur TV channel and said that the video introduces people astray. Musk demanded to make public the full record of the interview.
When on the Internet there was a version without the SNiP, it was found that the authors of the TV shows were literally creating a fake news. For example, when talking about the newly elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tesla’s Robyn Denholm, the host asked the Mask, whether he chose her for the position.
In the trimmed version of the interview with billionaire just says «Yes». However, a complete record of the words of the businessman as follows: «Yes… Choose? I just had to choose the President, and the rest of the Board of Directors have supported me.»

After this the presenter asked whether the Denholm to control the actions of Elon musk. Like last time, CBS twisted words of an entrepreneur. In an interview published by the TV channel, the answer is: «It’s not realistic. In the sense that I am the owner of the largest stake in the company. I can just convene a shareholder vote, and get everything you want.»
In fact, Musk said the following: «It is not realistic, since I am the owner of the largest stake in the company, and a very large percentage of shareholders supported me and the company. I can just convene a vote of shareholders and do whatever you want, provided that I will support at least 1/3 of shareholders, and it is quite likely. But, in the end, they are the ones in control of the company.»
Recently, Russian media said, though Musk acknowledged the closeness of the collapse of the company Tesla, which in fact is a lie. Photo:
It should be noted that this is only part of the twisted statements of the billionaire. In the material from CBS, he looks like a cocky businessman-dictator, but in reality, Musk tried to follow a very seasoned line. In the end, he was surprised the published version of the interview.
It is also interesting that this is not the first time remarks of billionaire media are portrayed in a negative light. Particularly the Russian news Agency, who recently said that Musk acknowledged the closeness of the collapse of Tesla. This was a blatant lie, as the businessman then spoke about the events a year ago.
