Elon Musk Goes After CNN For Posting Fake News

The Political Insider

Musk: “What I Find Most Surprising is That CNN Still Exists”

"Elon Musk attacked CNN for posting fake news claiming he had not delivered on his promise to produce ventilators for California hospitals.
"In March, Musk promised that he and Tesla would donate over 1,000 ventilators to California hospitals. On Thursday, CNN produced an article that claimed that Musk had never made good on his promise, claiming that the governor’s office told them “none of the promised ventilators have been received” by the hospitals
“ 'Despite the claims, none of the ventilators promised by Musk have been delivered to hospitals, according to the governor’s office,” the article reads. It also includes a statement from the California governor’s Office of Emergency Services, saying that “the Administration is communicating every day with hospitals across the state about their ventilator supply and to date we have not heard of any hospital system that has received a ventilator directly from Tesla or Musk.”
"Musk proceeded to shoot back in a series of tweets.
“ 'What I find most surprising is that CNN still exists,” Musk responded in a quick barb." . . .
