Elon Musk breaks down the exact playbook legacy media uses for propaganda and how they intentionally shape false narratives:
“Unfortunately, what I’ve learned is that legacy media propaganda is very effective at making people believe things that aren’t true
An example is people calling me a Nazi over a random hand gesture at a rally, when all I was saying was, ‘My heart goes out to you,’ while talking about space travel”
They do it on repetition all at once; essentially, that will end up outweighing the reality
Repeat a narrative enough times, amplify it across headlines, television, and social media, and millions will believe it without ever examining the full context or even the actual reality
