>I have no conspiracy theory or agenda. I simply observed, over time, from Musk's and Tesla's OWN STATEMENTS that he and Tesla insist that "Full Self Driving" is a legitimate claim (despite failing to prove it in court and settling to avoid a verdict) and that this is in contrast to the requirement that the driver be '100% in control at all times'.

If the misimpression created by the marketing term is corrected by the explicit and repeated warnings and instructions given to Tesla drivers, then the marketing term cannot be blamed for inattentive driving.

>This is not evidence, it is a theory that there is a conspiracy against Musk.

The coincidence is the evidence here.

>The fact is that Tesla's primary customers are environmentally-conscious, which goes with more left-leaning politics, yet Muck choose the right-wing side, who typically deny climate change issues and hate electric cars.

So you are, in fact, supporting my point, which is that the attacks on him intensified due to the political views he expressed.

Like I said:

"Both Musk and Tesla are far from perfect, but the lengths that people go to to attack them is obviously agenda-driven and a result of emotions"

Trying to blame Autopilot accidents on Tesla instead of inattentive drivers is example of that.

>btw, only about 17% of journalists are unionized

Which major newspapers and TV networks in the US are not unionized?

>He can have his opinions, but as he's not a politician

In a democracy, everyone is supposed to express their political opinions.
