An X (formerly Twitter) post suggesting CNN be renamed “DNN – Disinformation News Network” was reposted by Elon Musk, who added a sarcastic congratulatory message to the network. This action ignited a conversation among X users, with many criticizing CNN and its reporting.
The original post, from a user named DogeDesigner, gained significant traction and prompted a variety of responses. Some users offered alternative name suggestions, while others focused on broader concerns about misinformation in traditional media.
One commenter, Shawn Lindan, pointed out what they perceived as a discrepancy in how legacy media outlets and political figures approach the issue of misinformation.
This online exchange highlights the ongoing dialogue surrounding Elon Musk, social media’s influence on news consumption, and the evolving relationship between technology platforms and traditional news organisations.
