So quote those things then! The edit was designed to imply something worse than it was - or perhaps OP didn't even read the article but wanted an opportunity to rant about Tesla.
I read the article. I did not edit my comment. And the fact that this incident involved contractors doesn't make Tesla any less culpable, especially considering the pattern of accidents across their properties. This case just seemed to highlight how carelessly Tesla and those they contract with are about safety.
GP's complaint appears to be that you edited your quote by eliding parts of it that seem material to the story, not that you edited your comment. Edited comments get marked as such last I knew.
If you're going to quote something, do it right. Making things up (effectively what happened here) just so you can stand on a soap box and complain about something/someone is absurd.
The OP selectively edited the quote to leave out the most important fact, knowing most people would not read the article and would just cargo-cult upvote the sentiment of not liking Musk and/or his companies. Cheap internet points for the win...
It was a rhetorical question. The article isn't bunk: you certainly haven't made any more convincing arguments than it did in the counterfactual with your witch hunt on quoting.
Being fined doesn't undo the violation having happened. The original comment wasn't anywhere near as egregious as you've gone on about it, and the worst cases mentioned in the article weren't those contractors' accidents anyways when you've got things like intentionally ignoring dangerous conditions:
> Another worker claims the molding machine also didn’t correctly seal and often spat out molten metal. When a worker presented a solution to fix the issue, they were reprimanded that shutting it down would slow production output.

You seem to have more of a chip on your shoulder about defending Elon against an imagined unfairness in treatment than the actual violations that took place.
You'd think eventually Elon defenders would realize how "cool" it is to attack Elon at a given time tends to map pretty cleanly to when he does attack-worthy things. At which point it's not so much "attacking" as it is "speaking on reality as it exists".
