So I'm curious then what you think about short sellers who can bet against Elon Musk, and therefore they're financially incentivized to generate negative press (whether factual or not), and that Elon is very vocal against that practice? I presume you're primarily referencing his "Funding secured" tweet - which arguably with Elon's pretty solid judgement, he may have well had funding secured - say through verbal agreement - just perhaps not through official legal channels? It's also arguable as to whether what he's said is misleading or not, and which what he says, what the SEC wants him to do vs. what the Constitution gives him the foundational right to do seem to be at odds. Because you didn't give any specific examples of his supposed misleading, it's hard to actually argue you further. You also haven't tied anything you said back to how him buying ~10% of Twitter is awful for society though? You must also dislike Bitcoin then because the vast majority of what people see, that hypes them up to buy into Bitcoin, is shallow propaganda/is highly misleading - and those people ultimately will lose their money once the blockchain designed to mimic MLM-Ponzi schemes collapses?
