Social networks seem to be the new focus of Elon Musk, as evidence shows. The billionaire, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, took over Twitter in October and arrived at the company leaving everything within its own standards. After the acquisition, there were rumors that Musk would be interested in the music platform Spotify.
However, by all appearances, he is aiming his new expectations at other social media geared towards his own venture. The acquisition of Twitter was completed in October and already has speculation stating that Musk intends to invest in a website work with journalists, suggested by the billionaire still in 2018.

Elon Musk suggests creating a new social network
Elon Musk, in 2018, published on Twitter his desire to create a website so that the general public could assess the veracity of the published articles, suggesting scores to journalists so that prestigious communication vehicles could earn more emphasis.
Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication. Thinking of calling it Pravda …

“I will create a website where the public can assess the core truth of any article and track the credibility score over time for each journalist, editor and publication. Thinking of calling it Pravda…”, quoted Musk in the tweet made in 2018.
The term “pravda” is unknown because it belongs to the Russian vocabulary and means “truth”, the name of the communication vehicle of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
At the time, platform users agreed with the idea of creating Elon Musk. Five years after publication, Elon Musk revived the old tweet and returned to talk about what he had been thinking about in 2018.
The idea is similar to the feature launched in December on the blue bird platform, when users were able to comment on the quality of the content.
It seems that the billionaire is uncomfortable with some US media outlets, such as The New York Times and the BBC. He told the BBC that it was a “government-funded” vehicle and we don't know for sure if these are real expectations or if it's nothing more than a sting to US newspapers.
