Lots of companies doing a shitty thing is not some magical excuse for any given company also doing that shitty thing. On the contrary, we should be happy that the focus on Tesla has the power to bring more light to this issue.

strawman argument. something is widespread and has been widespread but now has spotlight because “tesla” and “musk”. and spotlight on tesla here, not other abusers.

the news media doing this reporting is not to unhide injustice but a focused assault on musk and tesla.

should force critical thinking about why media has turned so hard against tesla or musk. what is it they are afraid of?

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.

Breaking labour laws by telling workers not to discuss pay is the mark of a grubby operator. All US workers are entitled to discuss wages, whether a company likes it or not:
