So what where all those hot take pieces from the media saying that Musk was dragging Tesla down? Propaganda?

They simply hate the guy (to gain readership) and follow their own agenda. That’s my take.

Because those articles were about stock price and not about anything to do with Tesla real economics.

Tesla does not advertise in mainstream media unlike Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, and all the others. Therefore Tesla must be portrayed in a negative light so as to help protect their revenue.

well Tesla is being attacked because there are so many institutional investors who wanted to short the stock.

But I mean it is pathetic that capitalism nowadays is not built on rationalism but sentimental attacks
