Musk says NYT should ‘give back the Pulitzer’

While addressing the media beside Trump, one of the media persons asked him if the NYT report “accused” him of drug use when the Tesla CEO cut him mid-sentence. He said, “Oh wait, wait, wait! New York Times?” He continued, “Is it the same publication that got a Pulitzer prize for false reporting on the Russia Gate? Is it the same organisation?”

Turning to the President, he said, “I think it is. I think it is.” He then told the media, “ I think the judge ruled against the New York Times for their lies about the Russia Gate hoax,” adding, “have to give that Pulitzer back. That New York Times? Let’s move on.”
