SpaceX is a beloved company that people regularly say is the only example of a true privatization success story. It's not being shorted or maligned like Tesla is.
> Reminds me of "the mosted hated man in America" who got sentenced to 8 years in jail for a tweet.
This did not happen, at least not in a US court.
- sva_ 4y ago> It's not being shorted or maligned like Tesla is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you can short a private company, which SpaceX is.
- smt88 4y agoSorry, that wasn't clear. Tesla/Musk have blamed a lot of bad press and negative comments on smear campaigns, which they say are orchestrated by short sellers. If that's true (which it probably isn't), SpaceX doesn't have any short sellers that would want to orchestrate anything. They don't because they can't, as you said. So the general PR situation for SpaceX is wildly different from Tesla in every way. People still love SpaceX.
