Fredrik Hjelm, founder of Voi, dared to say in a podcast that the Sweden Democrats had been right about immigration early on. The reaction was immediate, brutal, and ongoing: headlines, moral condemnation, and “tech bro gone rogue” narratives. How dare he say something positive about the wrong party?
Meanwhile, Peter Carlsson of Northvolt has been given a remarkably soft landing after his company’s spectacular collapse. He’s been allowed to criticize the current government extensively in SVT, DN, Aftonbladet and elsewhere — with sympathetic framing as the “disappointed entrepreneur who speaks out”.
No character assassination, no “tech bro” smears, and no difficult questions about Swedish taxpayers’ pension money.
Keep in mind that the first company pays huge amounts of tax — while the second received massive subsidies from those same taxpayers.
One entrepreneur praises the “wrong” side and gets punished.
The other criticizes the government from the “right” green angle and gets platform after platform.
This isn’t journalism. It’s narrative enforcement.
Legacy media is clearly in full campaign mode for the opposition.
