Call me a conspiracy theorist, but that sure seems like a conspiracy to bury the data with emotionally-laden garbage fear-mongering headlines.
Also note how in any positive/neutral article that even tangentially involves Elon Musk, there's a proverbial army of people reminding the rest of us how bad we should feel for enjoying the technological achievements when they're indirectly connected to said bad person, and the language that's being used is very emotionally laden. People "violently recoil" from any of Elon's ventures. That's not normal.
