All this, but there is also some negative PR getting funded, presumably by the incumbent car manufacturers threatened by Tesla.

Remember that NYT article came out in 2018 that painted such a terrible picture of Elon (1)? A year later it showed up on my Facebook feed as a paid advertisement. Who pays to promote a year-old news article?

I wonder if they actually want Tesla to succeed (or at least partially). Because if its true that an auto manufacturer can achieve those valuations, then they can too.
