The Daily's Verdict

This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.

Bias

86%

Examples:

  • As contractors for the Supercharger network, my team woke up to a sharp kick in the pants this morning.
  • My guess is that now that the industry has adopted the NACS standard, he views Supercharging less as a strategic moat and more as a cost center.
  • There’s no way Mr. Musk would walk away from effectively free money. It may be possible Mr. Musk will reconstitute the EV charger team in bigger, badder, more Muskian way.

Conflicts of Interest

100%

Examples:

  • As contractors for the Supercharger network, my team woke up to a sharp kick in the pants this morning.

Contradictions

85%

Examples:

  • Elon Musk disbanded Tesla’s electric vehicle charging team.
  • Tesla fired around 500 people, including the two executives working on the Supercharger initiative

Deceptions

45%

Examples:

  • For now, General Motors, Ford and other automakers which struck deals last year to give customers access to the network said they are not changing their plans.
  • However, Musk made clear in a call with analysts earlier this month that he is focused on opportunities in artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous robotaxis.
