It's not pathetic.  They just want to talk Musk up so ppl remain confident buying Tesla stocks while the stock price drops lower and lower every single day.  When they do an about face and start to slam Tesla/Musk, you know to back up the truck because the bottom is in!

What a shame. Wish he had accomplished more.

Funny how NBC will report on stuff like this, but won't report a single negative thing about Tesla or Musk... you know, like all of the recalls, how easily they fall apart, the shoddy workmanship... or worse, all of the damage Musk is doing in the United States and around the world spreading misinformation and far right-wing (i.e., neo-Nazi) ideology, creating a direct pipeline to the Kremlin to send peoples' personal information, etc.

Any thing to appease daddy Musk... NBC is just pathetic supporting people like Musk and anything associated with him.
