> Maybe they're not afraid of anything. Maybe Tesla and Musk are just grubby operators.

what it mean grubby operators? there is no major headline in 2022/2023 than daily obsession with musk and every move?

there is narrative to destroy musk and undermine his companies. paradox that tesla ev company and media favors progressive shift to ev going away from fossil fuel.

much of anger and propaganda since he bought twitter i think they fear his active management style is threat to american mass media monopoly on shaping culture and world opinion. they fear because he owns twitter and fired much of company that had political alignment with american mass media machinery.
