BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Wall Street-centric framing: the two articles rely almost exclusively on American sources and analysts (AFP, Space Capital, NYU Stern), without UAE or regional voices

Preference for financial register: the dominant angle focuses on valuation and stock market comparisons, at the expense of geopolitical or spatial implications for the Gulf region

Low coverage of regulatory risks: the S-1 prospectus and governance issues (dual-class structure, conflicts of interest with Tesla/X) are mentioned briefly without in-depth analysis
