The last couple days I’ve noticed every post that shows Tesla not looking good, has been removed from some higher directive. Not deleted by OP.
and yesterday an OP tried at least twice to post an article about Tesla factory ordering $16,000 worth of pies from a small independently-owned Silicon Valley bakery, owned by a sweet hard-working lady who worked overtime all night and had to go out and buy more ingredients to get the order finished in time, only for Tesla to call up the next morning and cancel the order just as the pies were about to be delivered to Tesla. As of press time, that lady lost $16,000 on that order but hopefully Tesla came back and made up for it.
The OP posted that article twice because the first one had been removed, then I tried to comment on the second one and it had been removed also.
There seems to be some Tesla brigade working hard to remove everything from the internet that makes them look bad.
Edit: Update:
This is entirely subjective - I haven’t gone around counting things up - but I’ve noticed both more pro-Tesla and pro-SpaceX posts and increased arguments on the anti-Musk posts. It seemed (on lemmy) to be coming from the same small number of accounts, so it could just be an enthusiastic handful of fanboys.
If one of them became a mod, that might explain it. They were very active in the Tesla and SpaceX subs with multiple articles posted within minutes of each other within the past couple of days.
Probably just fanboys. I hate playing the shill but have certainly responded to unreasonable hatred and wrong criticism. There’s plenty of criticism to go around, even if you stick to valid stuff.
The same thing was quite widespread with Trump aswell. Each day the guy gives new valid reasons to critizise him for but people still feel the need to come up with lies about them or what’s probably even more common; jump to conclusions the very first moment a new story is breaking and then just run with it even if it’s later proven to be false. Like the story about Elon turning off Starlink to stop Ukrainian attack on Crimea. Or when people’s twitter profiles get suspended only to then be restored few hours later.
Being part of a hate-cult is hardly any better from being a fanboy.
