They have a de facto PR department. Go ask Elon on Twitter. You may or may not get an answer.

  Elon only tweets to pump stonks with fomo insinuations or rage so I'll pass on that option. Ttyl heading out to the cottage in my tank, aka 1991 Toyota Camry :D

    I encourage everyone to make their own mind up with data instead of listening to someone else’s opinions. https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk

      Musk uses Twitter to express himself. He says Twitter is a war zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIzGdoPu9vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIzGdoPu9vs

        Like I said, just look at the data. Does he or does he not answer questions people have? Expressing himself does not preclude him from answering questions. It’s logic. A being true does not preclude B being true unless B = not(A). https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk https://mobile.twitter.com/elonmusk

          He uses Twitter to call people paedophiles: https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/19/17588574/elon-musk-twitter-cave-rescue-investors-tesla https://www.theverge.com/2018/7/19/17588574/elon-musk-twitte... Is that good PR or bad PR?
        • danso 6y ago
          You’re telling people to look at the data, by linking to his Twitter profile which shows around 12,600 tweets? Why don’t you try searching his mentions to get an idea of how many tweet questions he (nevermind Tesla) gets in a single day that go unanswered?
          • babesh 6y ago
            Sure. Go to Twitter and search for @elonmusk. I don’t know how or whether you can link to mentions. How many PR requests go unanswered?

              Most of them: https://jalopnik.com/teslas-pr-department-hasnt-responded-to-me-for-months-a-1845279798 https://jalopnik.com/teslas-pr-department-hasnt-responded-to... People have stopped bothering to ask because they don't get answers. To quote this article, "While The Drive would contact Tesla for an explanation of Gigafactory Berlin's situation, the automaker recently disbanded its communications department.": https://www.thedrive.com/news/37086/german-officials-shut-off-water-at-teslas-gigafactory-berlin-over-unpaid-bill https://www.thedrive.com/news/37086/german-officials-shut-of...

    Isn't the guy banned from commenting on Tesla by the SEC?
    • klyrs 6y ago
      De jure? I believe so. De facto? He's still doing it
    • tyre 6y ago
      He’s supposed to have a lawyer review tweets. The first lawyer assigned to do this quit Tesla very soon after one of Elon’s (interviewed) inanities, which itself came very soon after the SEC action.

        > He’s supposed to have a lawyer review tweets. Incredible how the world has changed during the last years :)
    • emerongi 6y ago
      Didn't he outright say that no one actually reviews his tweets? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNypdYQoWk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRNypdYQoWk
