There 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 10mo agoIt's not journalism anymore when you take one fact and then use it as the basis for wild speculation.
- donohoe 10mo agoI re-read it. Very little is speculative and nothing I’d label as “wild”.
- RhythmFox 10mo 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 10mo agoMany other comments show that it is. One example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46423846 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46423846
- donohoe 10mo 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.
