There wasn't really a political angle with Apple, but the coverage of Tesla and SpaceX changed dramatically in most of the media after Musk switched sides during early Covid after a CA legislator told him to get out of CA and said F*k Elon Musk. Since then it's been a constant stream of negative stories and witchhunts that similar companies who do the same things are not subject to.
It's quite obvious that Tesla has huge brand identification and Elon goes way, way out of his way to make things about himself. But are you suggesting Big Vax or a CA assemblyman is controlling the press?
