Maybe it's jealously because they can't afford one? Maybe these people are unemployed and have too much time on their hands? Maybe they're bots put out by the fossil fuel industry? Who knows?
Yep, all three of the above, and more. The media should be celebrating the giant automotive technological leap Tesla has made over the last decade that's reducing imports and putting an American car company back in a technological leadership position. Tesla products are boosting the economy, reducing sickness and death, increasing high paying engineering and manufacturing jobs in the country and reducing our dependence upon foreign oil (yes, we are still dependent, in many ways).

Last year, an American company took back the crown of Best-Selling Car in the World for the first time in many decades, this is a huge deal, but I bet you didn't see the mainstream media trumpeting this fact across their front pages! In the 1970's we had the "Japanese Invasion" and we are finally starting to reverse it.

Last year, an EV outsold every ICE model offered but all the media could say was that interest in EVs was waning. Most Americans don't even know the best-selling car in the world is electric. The Model Y is on track to make it two years in a row, but the MSM will not tell you that.

None of this is a mistake. The MSM does the bidding of those who pay/bribe them. They do not exist to inform you, they exist to serve powerful monied interests.

I love it! Just shows how many people out there don’t “get it”. It is also my sign to continue to gobble up as much $TSLA as possible.
True, this is a gift to those who invest for their future financial well-being. Tesla will come out of this base they have formed with all guns firing. It is transforming itself right before our eyes from an auto company that excels at technology and manufacturing, to a company that will benefit in unfathomable ways from the much larger and faster growing addressable energy markets, robotics, and AI.

Investing in TSLA now will be better than investing in Standard Oil in 1915. Wall Street is always slow to catch on.

I think a lot of it is the oil industry or short sellers. Then when you add in politics it gets even worse. Musk endorsed Trump who the media hates.
I respect Elon for being able to take the terrible tasting medicine that is necessary to get better. The country is sick, very sick. And the medicine we need might not be very palatable, but if it will put us on a better trajectory, then it's the medicine we need to take. Elon looks right through all the BS to see the bigger picture.

Mostly. He's not fallible and still human after all.

But on balance his opinions are based in reality not fiction, so his footing is fairly solid.

I think he does have a strong technical background to support his views, which when you get down to it, is why his views are closer to reality than many others, who wander aimlessly once they reach these high popular orbits and completely lose touch with terra firma.

Having the aptitude and willingness to be involved at the technical level of the companies you run, and make hard choices at the manufacturing and design level, even against some of your own crew, for benefit of the vision and goal, is exactly why CT exists.

The big distinction here is that EM is the instigator and promoter of the products on sale, and beleives he must do his utmost to make the product "the best" he can achieve given the constraints, and gives it "his all" in many of the situations, even against the odds and many hurdles.

This mentally and drive is not common amougst CEOs, who typically, once they have their wealth become consumers by spending their wealth, instead of continuing to accelerate their products development, and someone who reinvests everything to reach his ultimate goal.

Maybe this is because many of them set their goals to low to start with.

Mars in comparison is a far enough away that everything he does now, isn't even a stretch goal.

Aplha Centauri here we come....?

Another point to raise here to differentiate him is that EM is not driven by the puisuit of fiat currency at all, bar it's ability to allocate resources according to his will to reach his goal.

Many CEOs reach wealth but then either struggle to hold it, or just flat out don't know what to do with it anymore. Whereas EMs goals are so far out, that most of the countries on the planet couldn't afford to achieve them even if they wanted to.

To think a private company is trying to achieve this is why many underestimate EM to begin with. Accordingly, the same for many of the resulting products.

Very astute. Those trying to slow Elon down create false narratives that are 180 degrees opposed from your observations, and hope nobody notices they are full of BS. Unfortunately, it works on a surprising number of people who seem to have lost the ability to think for themselves. This is a rapidly growing problem society wide.

I don't even look at it anymore. They don't know what they're taking about and just fishing for views and clicks. 90%+ of the people I run into in the real world love it.
We ALL need to click on those articles IF THEY ALLOW COMMENTS (if not, don't bother). Then, make sure to voice the facts and tell people how great your CT is!!

The more 'love' shown for them, the better the AI's will show GOOD articles about them.

I think most of the hatred towards Tesla's (and Elon Musk) is because the MEDIA just plain doesn't like him! I also believe it has A LOT to do with certain 'other' manufacturers who are perpetuating the 'EVs are bad - get a hybrid instead' simply because they (TM, GM mostly) make a FORTUNE in profits off of hybrids! They make more on 1 hybrid than 2 gas cars or 10 BEVs (currently).

Naturally, those 'other' companies also do a heck of a lot of ADVERTISING!! That means MONEY for the media!! LOTS of money for the media!!

So, they will keep telling us every single time something 'bad' happens and a Tesla is involved... Car crashes, if it's a TESLA then lets do a story on it! If it's not, well, why bother... Accidents happen all the time and nobody cares... But if it's a TESLA then it's time to blame Elon Musk!!

We ALL must start making sure that ANY article about BEVs (especially Tesla's) get GOOD COMMENTS!! Tell people the REAL TRUTH! Don't let detractors that just want to drive the price of stock down (so they can make money!) keep up their lies! CALL THEM OUT ON THEM!!

Make sure to comment how great they are, how happy you are that you bought one, etc...

On articles that DO NOT allow commenting, take it all with a grain of salt and don't even bother reading them, they are likely 'written' by some AI anyway...

I often invite any doubters or haters to come for a spin. I may even offer them to get behind the wheel. If they refuse I know they are just haters. If they accept, I know I’ll change their perception.

I’ve noticed that there is just a subset of society that has to put something down in order for what they own/like to be validated. I don’t live in that world.
