Baidu responded that Tesla Tao Lin’s resume was changed: there has never been a statement about her work at CCTV

Tao Lin, the “uncompromising” vice president of Tesla, was caught in a whirlpool of public opinion because of the “Tesla owner’s roof protection” incident. After the rights defense incident, Tao Lin Baike’s resume was revised twice, which triggered a heated discussion on the Internet.

On the evening of April 21, Baidu Baike issued a statement on Sina Weibo, stating that the two recent edits of this entry were all normal news event completions and incorrect content corrections. There is no “hiding what is hidden from the media “, “Internal help to change the resume” and other situations. None of the historical editions described his work experience at CCTV, Baidu, and Renren as described by the media.
