The only reason Musk immediately starts defending Tesla is because the media immediately blames Tesla when anything goes wrong.

It is international news any time a Tesla crashes. This is not the case for any other manufacturer.

If that were true, he should just shut up and wait for the NTSB results to speak for itself

The media does not care about the accident itself (nor the NTSB findings) so the results wouldn't make headlines. Let's see how many newspaper will retract their fake news about this particular accident...

What they care about is all the rage they can spark from anything seemingly bad that can be associated with Tesla and/or Musk.

I'm sure they would change their coverage if Tesla were paying billions to them through advertising. But they don't, so here we go.

Honestly I'm not sure how that follows from my comment at all.
