Elon Musk says news headlines name Tesla in crash stories while crashes involving Toyota, Ford and BMW are reported without brand names.

In an X post, he says Tesla's quarterly safety data shows Teslas with Autopilot engaged go far more miles between crashes than the US average, and he calls the coverage a campaign against the company.

The post gives no specific headlines or crash counts, and the reported figures are Musk's own description of Tesla's data rather than a summary of the published numbers.
