What "fake news" are you talking about, exactly? If you go digging through Tesla short Twitter you can find all kinds of apocalyptic musings, but that's not what's being printed at TheDrive or CNBC or Bloomberg. Musk himself told Axios that Tesla was "single digit weeks from dying" in the summer of 2018.
Wall Street has had well founded concerns about Tesla's liquidity and viability (to say nothing of corporate governance and internal controls) at numerous points in its history. Is the financial press supposed to just not report those concerns out of fear it might discourage someone from buying the cars?
To say nothing of the fact that, on balance, Tesla and Elon Musk have actually been the beneficiaries of an enormous amount of complacent and at times even fawning press coverage.
