High volume of negative on Tesla articles posted lately.

Are these just a side effect if Elon pissing everyone off with his Twitter shenanigans? People motivated to talk about his companies and share negative comments? Is there any organized effort (bots) doing this?

It's a side effect of Tesla's stock plummeting which is (largely?) due to Elon's Twitter shenanigans.

Due to bots: no.

> > share negative comments?

How is Tesla not dominating the auto industry a negative comment?

It can only be if your expectations are so high that make it so that you read it as negative.

Cars are 150 year old inventions, it's like saying somebody won't dominate the wheel industry or the bronze industry. Duh!

Somehow the everything bubble and shameless promotion made it a controversial point of view, and the diehard zelots will argue both on here and in the author substack about how it's in fact possible to dominate the wheel industry or the bronze industry and that Tesla will do just that once is done dominating the auto industry

I was just observing what seems to be an increasing volume of posts about Tesla and usually ones that debunk the hype or point out failings / problems.

I personally don’t care whether or not “Tesla isn’t Dominant” is seen as positive or negative or just a fact.

The article just had me thinking about the seeming trend.

I should use the hacker news api to build up some data and see if there really is a trend.

Such "domination" in any industry has historically always been transient. IBM once dominated the computer industry. Perhaps Tesla has had its time of domination.
