        Guess this is a conspiratory theory then or in support of one.

          Google the headline. USAtoday, Texas Tribune, and Insideclimatenews are a couple on the first page. It seems wild to just shrug off something as conspiracy without even checking unless ones own bias is the culprit.

      I couldn’t find any analysis of autonotion, but they link to a local TV station’s site KRIS TV which does have a decent reputation

      Click the link. In the first paragraph it links to a kristv (msnbc?) article. Has photo and video in that article as well. Too many people here comment without reading…

        I clicked it and the site didn’t seem reputable. And I don’t know msnbc.

          So… because you don’t know MSNBC you’ve decided it’s a conspiracy theory?

          Dude u live under a rock then. MSNBC is one of the big 3 up there with CNN and fox in terms of size and recognition. I worry what news outlets you DO know, probably just the Tesla newsletter from the sounds of it. Not to mention is easier than ever to Google the title and get 6 other sources. Your either a shill or incredibly ignorant and incompetent, although I suppose likely both.

              Me neither. And I knew it when I was 14 years of age. Which was a long time ago. If You know fox then you (should) know MSNBC.
