I really don’t understand the hate towards Elon / Tesla on Twitter? Can somebody explain? I understand finding truth, but some of these truth finders seem like they go into the extremes to knit pick everything as evidence of their theory.. am I wrong? What am I not seeing? $Tesla vs TE$LAQ?
- rconti 8y agoGuy "joined twitter December 2018". eyeroll.
- newnewpdro 8y agoShort sellers bet on a stock like TSLA being severely overvalued, thus are incentivized to dig up all the dirt they can to compel the market to sell off their shares and drive down the stock price.
- compstricken 8y agoYeah, those few guys and all their FUD. As opposed to all of the institutional investors, VCs, employees, shareholders, car owners and Elon Musk himself (with the biggest pay package in history) who have a stake in saying, "Business is great, nothing to see here!"
- __blockcipher__ 8y agoBeware this narrative. There are many with legitimate concerns around fraudulent activity (SCTY acquisition, “funding secured” tweet), as well as Musk’s highly unstable behavior (pedophilia accusations, etc etc). It’s not solely those with financial incentive. And no, I’m not a Tesla hater. Just someone who wishes Tesla lived up to their own image.
- newnewpdro 8y agoIt's not like I said shorts invent illegitimate claims. They're just the most incentivized to dig it up and make it as visible as possible. In my experience it's quite often legitimate, though frequently blown out of proportion for obvious reasons.
