Very first sentence:

>Earlier this week, it was reported that Tesla workers in the company's Buffalo, New York Autopilot facility had sent a letter to CEO Elon Musk stating their attention to unionize.

Some bot (or semi-educated imbecile) no doubt meant to write 'intention to unionize'.

Seriously, can't they even write the salient element of the very first sentence of an article(!) correctly?

English is my third language, and even I caught this.

Tesla short sellers, former twitter censors, etc., seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel in coordinating their anti-Elon-Musk campaigns.

All anti-Musk campaigns are now coordinated by Elon Musk himself. Further assistance is largely unnecessary.

Almost no chance a bot wrote that—bots don’t make phonetic mistakes like that. It happens when you mentally sound out the word, and then when you go to write it down your brain glitches and writes a similar-sounding word instead.

It’s like all these persnickety grammarians commenting on this story across Reddit today have a very obvious pro-Elon bias. Kind of weird.
