        The man has he greatest chance of literally changing the trajectory of human existence and he has to deal with people playing children’s games. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be his level of genius and having so many unnecessary obstacles in the way

        Fair, but they’re also not on the same level of efficacy. If your biggest constraint to success is perception which is (in your opinion) being inaccurately skewed to the detriment of your saving humanity, surely it’s understandable how he gets to that state.

        It’s a sensible and rational piece. Elon’s behavior is not creditable.

        It’s a public market; like his arguably outrageous earnings call behavior, this too (lest it become libel) is all fair game & shareholders will determine whether they consider it creditable. 300+/share shows I’m not the only one with irrational exhuberance for @elonmusk & @Tesla

        Nope. But journalist's job is question power, to question hype and irrational exuberance. Debate and counter narrative doesn't need to devolve to debased, Trump like call outs. It's a disservice to rational discourse and I believe to democratic society.

        Didn't the bribed ex-employee went on record to the police that he was bribed? How much more proof - before actual trial - is there needed? It's not as baseless claim as this article tries to put it

        My guess is that he's under a substantial amount of stress. They're building cars in tents... He feels pressure, and that's certainly the sort of thing that could cause a person to act out. Nonetheless, twitter nonsense is not a good look. For him, anyway.

        Don't think the author understands the meaning of "evidence" (as *confessed* nor what rights journalists have to publish companies' confidential information. Nor is it clear how rampant short-selling puts upward pressure on the stock. How 'bout y'all catch Elon a break? @elonmusk

        Here's a better article on the "Trash Elon" movement. It's one thing to be skeptical - it's another to be intentionally misleading and vindictive. Who gains? Follow the (short selling) money.https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2018/5/29/1767826/-The-War-on-Tesla-Musk-and-the-Fight-for-the-Future …

        @elonmusk should have follow @solarcity instead of @tesla. I get the "which" path to follow, but solar against cars was a no brainer.
