Model S Owner and Frustrated Tesla Fan
SA just deleted this comment. Censoring bulls as usual!
I've noticed that any mention of Russia or Russian trolls in connection with an anti-Tesla smear campaign is immediately deleted off SA, which leads me to suspect that there is in fact some kind of connection. Seems a bit conspiracy theorist, but then again so does the Russian interference in Brexit and the 2016 US elections.
Seeking Alpha is run out of Israel, of all places; founded by David Jackson, now run by Eli Hoffman. Glassdoor has complaints of racism in both hiring and article publication. (Perhaps unsurprising when it's run out of one of the most racist countries on Earth by owners who seem to be totally OK with their government's racism.) And it seems to be absolutely clear from Seeking Alpha employee reviews that Seeking Alpha is not an open forum, but a heavily edited site which is specifically pushing the views of its editors.
I do wonder why its Israeli owners & editors hate Tesla; the best I can come up with is Israel's alliance with Saudi Arabia, but that seems like a stretch. Neither of them appears to have Russian connections.
