"If you think Elon Musk is 100% correct that the reporter was a liar, or that the reporter was 100% in the right for publishing a big picture of a Tesla Model S being towed, you're going to be disappointed." I don't think the OP went into it thinking that Musk or Broder were right. " just don't respect him anymore, not like I used to. I mean, I do, just not like I used to." I interpreted that statement to refer to how Tesla reacted to the review. Musk could have taken the opportunity to clearly explain the extenuating circumstances and extended a new opportunity for Broder to take a test drive, but instead opted for this reality-TV-like drama to play out (which, btw, other media sources like CNBC and CNN really enjoyed).
