Consider the Source

By -

Years ago, I assumed the news was fairly even-handed and you could trust what you were reading. I’ve learned over time to take into account the source, since publications tend to have strong biases one way or the other. For example, there are some specific media outlets like Electrek and Futurism which HATE Tesla and HATE Elon, so these days when I read a breathless headline like this, I take it with a grain of salt:

The “tailspin” they are pointing out was just a reversal of the gains from a couple of days earlier. Big deal.

The long-term picture still looks fantastic, and it’s not out of the question that, in a few years, Tesla could be the most valuable company in the country. Sounds nuts, but it’s possible.
