They don't have to push "Anti-Elon" opinions. It's more than enough, FAR more than enough to simply quote what Elon is writing on "X" in verbatim.

But where I agree: Tesla's image and stock sure would be in better shape if nobody would publish what Elon says at all. But here is the problem: He bought a social media company due to his narcissism.

Again, I'm from Germany. Yes, it's relevant to the news here if the (ex) richest person on the planet is spewing conspiracy theories and bullshit that quite often in some form or another feels like praise for the Nazis, and support for the Neo-Nazis.

Those in my country who may actually like his positions typically are not able to afford a Tesla, so at least when it comes to Germany and a couple of our neighboring countries who also aren't exactly in the Hitler fan camp, all in all that's just not a very good marketing strategy when it comes to Europe.
