I agree about those facts that the companies themselves posted. But for journalism to occur my hope would be the author needs to find out what that means for Tesla instead of speculating. Perhaps if it was posted as an opinion piece.
- donohoe 9mo agoThere is plenty there “for journalism to occur” in terms of the write-down of the deal and Teslas current performance. It’s newsworthy in itself.
- terminalshort 9mo agoIt's not journalism anymore when you take one fact and then use it as the basis for wild speculation.
- donohoe 9mo agoI re-read it. Very little is speculative and nothing I’d label as “wild”.
- RhythmFox 9mo agoIt's 'wild' to this person because it challenges their opinion on Musk and Tesla I have to guess. This is a classic 'it is bad reporting because it does not agree with my worldview' take, aka 'fake news'.
- terminalshort 9mo agoMany other comments show that it is. One example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46423846 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46423846
- donohoe 9mo agoThe one comment suggests a valid alternative. It doesn’t suggest that this was ‘wild’ reporting - which was your original point. The article still adds information, analysis, and not much speculation.
