umm .... you'd like to think so.
Tesla has allegedly disbanded its PR department. Is this just corporate arrogance, or is it a sign of how much the company’s cult status means its fans will do all the PR it needs?

you can find plenty of other hits in a goog search.
2 years ago elmo shut down the US pr team because having to answer difficult questions (full self driving problems and delays, changes to policies, delay on cybertruck, forcing tsla to buy his cousin's failing solarcity startup, removal of soft/hardware features for used tesla buyers, etc) wasn't worth paying for. if you dont have a pr dept then reporters cant call for an official(legally binding/actionable as a publicly owned company) statement. not very future looking.
so yeah the idiot child is no longer being managed by the grownups.
who knows, maybe it is an opportunity for his rich buddies to buy tsla shares at a lower price to lock in control of the company. sucks for the rest of the public who bought in on the inflated price.
