Elon Musk has often been critical of the job CNN has done covering the political landscape in recent years. However, he gave the network credit for its debate Thursday.
The billionaire shared a post to X that he was impressed with the job the network did Thursday evening in allowing President Joe Biden (D) and former President Donald Trump (R) to be the stars of the show.
“Have to say that (CNN) did a good job managing the debate. Questions were reasonable and non-partisan. No favoritism was shown to either candidate,” said Musk. “This is what the public wants from the media.”
Musk comments come after the X social media platform he owns hosted its own debate alternative Thursday night featuring independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responding to questions asked by moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash during the CNN debate, and also refuting claims made by by the Republican and Democratic candidates.
