Freedom of speech is a thing, and it's well within that right to criticize how private resources are spent.
Free speech was created to protect dissent against state censorship, not to serve as a shield for straw-man arguments or online virtue signaling. Pointing out that a criticism misunderstands private capital allocation isn't an attack on anyone's rights: it's just noting that a private automaker's R&D budget isn't a zero-sum public works fund.
