The "who wears short shorts" music video he linked is where I started to think the shorts were really getting to him. In his defense there was a lot of negative spin likely originating from his short sellers, who had the largest short position of any stock I think.
Most companies CEOs are really careful and always act like nothing is wrong even as the ship sinks. In interviews Musk was refusing to answer certain questions from reporters accusing them of being from his short sellers, it all makes me wonder if the financials aren't so rosy.

- vertline3 8y agoIt becomes spin when several stories are floated in order to erode confidence in the company. Musk's accusations were that much of the negative press was coming from shorts or competitive rivals, wether that be energy companies or car companies. The truth for me lies in between.
