    Yeah and these news come out a week before a major breakthrough? Definitely not a biased article…

    My guess is that it is envious people who simply dislike musk and his company and try to block their progress. Since they can’t do it in a legal way, they make up crap.

    Though it might be that parts could be true, idk.

    Edit:

    “Since LeBlanc’s death in June 2014, which hasn’t been previously reported, […]”

    So why hasn’t it been priorly reported? And why have we, in general, never heard of these incidents in the past, even though there are allegedly so many?

      That bit of the article is a total lie. It was reported and discussed at the time, which the author seems to have conveniently forgot.
