Elon Musk has certainly brought his companies into the public interest through his marketing and flamboyant takes on political and social issues.

That said, I do think this story is newsworthy based on the severity of the DFEH lawsuit and prior history with the Diaz case. The bigger question is not if there is bias in news reporting, but DFEH action. That is to say, is Tesla actually an outlier in workplace environments or selected based on other criteria.
