Or an alternative view: no matter what he does there will always be haters and there are massive (political) incentives to destroy his public persona. Those incentives also align nicely with those of hedge funds that are short TSLA as well as family offices that are short Tesla (hello Billy boy Gates).

> ... no matter what he does there will always be haters. Yes. Why? Because he's an jerk that deserves it. He's done and said enough dumb shit that people should take him with an ocean's worth of salt.

Or, hear me out, maybe he is just a terrible person with some insane level of narcissism who will talk shit about everything without being half competent at that, and recently the consequences of his very own shitty decisions have been catching up to him. You can be only so stupid to acquire Twitter overpriced and drive it to the ground, there is no need for “political incentives”, when he is quite good at destroying his own persona.

  Name 1 Musk company that failed? Incompetent how?! If Musk is considered incompetent, I might as well drop whatever I'm doing forever because I'll never ever even come close? Driving into the ground? Sounds like pure speculation based on nothing as long as Twitter isn't bankrupt? You don't like Musk. OK, fine, you're allowed not to like him, but I don't get your reasoning.

You can't argue this alternative view in good faith because he now has such a long record of pulling the wool over people eyes. Its just mainstream now and so it looks likes its partisan but to be honest people in the legacy auto and space industry have been screaming from the rooftops for years but no one listened to them.

  Any substantiation? Pulling the wool over people's eyes? Like what? Missing planned deadlines? What where they screaming from the rooftops and how was he wrong?
