I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but this article lacks any context and makes some assumptions about malicious intent. Are these the only articles removed, or did they purge a bunch of articles from two decades ago? Maybe these articles were stored in a legacy database and someone finally decided to clean it up, then the media is twisting it into “they’re changing history!”

(Disclaimer: I’m speculating heavily here given my lack of context, so these may very well have been removed on purpose due to their content)

FWIW California at least allows new fathers to take 12 weeks paternity leave. My company normally only offers 4 weeks of paid paternity leave, but my coworker managed to get 12 by living in California. I believe he only got paid for 4 weeks of it since I don’t think the rule requires employers to pay the whole thing, but at least he got a lot of time off to help his wife and bond with his new son.
