"The media" didn't do it. He did it himself.

BP had competent PR people running the show while Musk never lets an opportunity to damage his own reputation pass by.

No, I don't find that to be a fair claim.

It's obvious that the political and social biases of journalists play a large role in constructing narrative.

What you're saying just isn't compelling because it exonerates the role that media outlets have played in narrative formation.

Lots of words just to say that you're blaming it all on the media rather than Musk's own decisions to disband PR teams at every single one of his companies only to vent into thin air e.g that he wants Ukraine to take a peace deal with land concessions to Russia.

That you're blaming this on the press rather than Elon's own decisioning in spite of a plainly evident trail of blood from Elon's use of footguns speaks volumes.
