So I guess a broken link can reach the front page if it has a title that appears negative for Elon Musk. Not surprising, really.
In the actual article:
> In discussions with the company, Tesla "indicates that the timing of the reports was due to an issue with Tesla’s data collection, which, according to Tesla, has now been fixed," the reegulator [sic] said.
Front-page news for sure.

Can you blame folks? Their Teslas were supposed to be appreciating assets[1] that were able to drive them coast-to-coast[2] by now. I'd be mad too.
Why is it not surprising? Can you give any other examples, or perhaps are you weirdly biased in favor of a narcissistic centibillionaire who doesn't know you exist and wouldn't care to? Luckily the world doesn't revolve around what you find newsworthy, because I suspect it would be quite dull.

There’s literally no news here. The link is broken. Did you click the link and even attempt to read the story?
Parent is onto something here. Musk bad = automatic reflexive upvotes on this site and that is not a good thing.

You’re right, someone being so awful to trigger that behavior is not a good thing.

>The link is broken.
The correct link is the top comment on this story, and it was posted almost immediately after the initial submission. There appears to be a small typo in the submitted URL, which hopefully will get fixed.
Like you are willing to click on comments, and read them, but only insofar as it’s an opportunity for you to point out that you believe that crash data is the same thing as propaganda about a guy whom you would prefer not to see criticized on this website.

“According to Tesla” is likely what is being probed here. I think that’s newsworthy.

It's fine to start a probe into that but the only reason the mere fact that a probe is starting would be front-page news is schadenfreude.
