As Presumed by who exactly? You? Anyone thinking that you can burry « whistleblower » with « whistle » (and it’s actually called cyberwhistle) has not checked how SEO works since 1998. I mean, you could have just tried a google search before making accusations.

Are you paid to do Tesla PR or are you just part of the personality cult?

You could make backlinks with the right context though. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1465838829370228737 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1465838829370228737 For me, 3 of the top 10 SERPS for "tesla whistleblower" are stories about this whistle product.

  Stories talking about how Elon Musk is making fun of whistleblowers by selling a whistle. Including details and/or links to the actual whistleblowers stories. That's not exactly burying anything, more like promoting. Burying would be if you were to search for "tesla whistleblowers" on Google and Google just giving you links to the whistle product, not allowing you to find the information you are looking for. But that's not how Google, or any other major search engine, works, or has worked for a very long time. So saying that's why Tesla/Elon are doing it, is quite simply false.

    Sure, I can't say why they are doing it, but it has taken up 3 slots in probably the most common query. A reputation management company would be really happy with that result. They wouldn't expect one theme to fix it all.

    You underestimate the power of a false balance, and in a way, Elon Musk. When searching about "whistleblowing tesla" (or "whistle blowing tesla"!) there should be zero stories about the Tesla whistle. You turn facts that are 100% negative (Tesla has a big whistleblowing problem) into something that's 30% positive (or neutral). That's a PR win on a massive, almost unheard of scale. Just imagine the VW CEO doing a stunt like this to soften Dieselgate ...

Its not about visibility but how they manipulate and taunt people by distracting people with these silly trinkets like whistles and flame throwers. This is what psychological warfare looks like.

I have no idea how SEO works, but over half my first-page google results are about this actual whistle.
