It’s hard to know how many truly kiss his ass vs how many are afraid that if they say anything bad online he’ll make some calls and their car will stop working or their repair office will tell them it’s not fixable nor under warranty leaving them with an expensive pile of inoperable junk.
Being that he’s cancelled preorders of vocal critics and has been caught purposely breaking things for critical accounts before at xitter, it’s not actually that far-fetched a fear.
There is also a sort of rule with Tesla that if you make negative posts about their cars you get knocked down on the service list. Posts like this are basically service requests because of they get enough traction Musk will see and be might pay them to take it down.
Interestingly enough, there is weird place where i observed identical behaviour: computer game mods. True, they are usually free, but any complaints or questions are often delivered with massive amounts of asskissing in case modder in question is an asshole with huge ego (plenty of them are).
