Other channels claim that Tesla is buying Jeep-maker Stellantis to “all competition,” releasing hydrogen-powered cars, and other obvious falsehoods.
It’s plain to see why such channels would make up content about Musk — he’s kind of a big deal. With President-elect Donald Trump heading to the White House, Musk is poised to have a sizable amount of influence over him, as well as an undefined role in slashing government spending. That’s already paying dividends, sending Tesla stock surging and its market cap past $1 trillion last week.
