Just based on the title of this topic, I have to strongly disagree with some statistical data. I only skimmed the OP, my bad.
Lauda's DT1 trust has been declining over the past year, while their distrust overall has been increasing.
This is particularly noticeable when we look at DT1 trust % (as well as DT1 & ex-DT1 combined that's now back over 50%):
To say Lauda owns the trust system is false. It's statistically clear they don't control/own DT, but instead are
very close from being excluded after the recent DT shakeup.
