The serial entrepreneur's new project will let the public rate "the core truth" of news articles. Elon Musk is apparently tired of "fake news" or perhaps bad press, so he's creating a new site called Pravda to let the public rate "the core truth" of articles and track credibility scores of journalists, editors and publications.

The interestingly named Pravda, which was also the name of a Russian communist propaganda broadsheet, means "truth" in Russian, and it will be somewhat akin to a Yelp for journalism. Musk, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, has been frustrated with publications that reported on his businesses, claiming that some headlines distort the truth, such as the safety of his Tesla Model S cars.
