    Wait what's wrong with being watchdogs for journalism? Isn't that :citations-needed: ?

      Musk created a watchdog institution specifically targeted at journalists who were critical of the labor practices at Tesla factories. He claims there's a coordinated oil/gas campaign to discredit his companies and publish their own bias. He's possibly correct honestly about that honestly, but his solution seems to be creating an alternate press of his own to publish his own biases. Also he had the gall to name his publication Pravda. Also it failed right out of the gate.

            You should never want someone to be dead, you should want to see them reformed. But before the means to reform people exist, if at all possible, ending some lives might be saving a lot of others in the process. It´s pragmatic, not what we should actually want.
