Hedge fund manager Mr Mr Mark Spiegel, claims his social media behavior is now hurting the company as well: “It’s all based around this rabid Elon Musk fan base. Once that fan base starts to see what kind of person they’ve been worshipping, they will turn on you on a dime,” before going on to compare his tweeting style to that of US President Donald Trump, claiming that the two have “amazing amount of personality defects in common.”

“It’s very dangerous if you just blurt things out.”
Mr Robert Drechsel, who teaches media law at the University of Wisconsin, agreed with the hedge fund manager’s assessment, claiming it might be best for Mr Musk to stop tweeting for a while: “You can’t be doing yourself any favor minimally by creating this kind of a distraction, and at worst raising questions about your credibility.”
“I’m certain they wish he would be a more cautious tweeter.”

Musks a bitter nerd that became a billionaire and now has anger issues. Maybe the stock drop had something to do with his threat of producing a kid sized cave rescue sub? Like that’s a valuable asset in a cave rescue! If you could get even a child’s sized sub into an area it wouldn’t be needed for the rescue.
Honest question: Is Musk autistic?
