The media is trying to stop Elon Musk.
Their newest attack is claiming that his reputation is suffering because of what he is done on Twitter.
Why aren’t they happy he has exposed the truth?
The Washington Post ran an article titled “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.”
The Washington Post reported:
That crisis accelerated as Tesla stock prices plunged nearly 20 percent this week to $123 per share on Friday, largely due to concerns about Musk. Also this week, roughly 58 percent of 17 million Twitter accounts that responded to an unscientific poll from Musk said he should step down as Twitter CEO, after helping create, then reverse new policies that proved controversial last weekend.
“Historically he’s been a pendulum between genius and reckless,” said Gene Munster, managing partner at Loup Ventures. “He’s on reckless right now. He’s way over recklessness.”
Munster added, “It leaves people to view him … as slightly less of a genius.”
…
Musk is repeatedly described as a man obsessed with Twitter in all the wrong ways, who is failing both at protecting his new investment and his previous ones, according to interviews with a half-dozen former Twitter employees and people in Musk’s orbit, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution or because they were not authorized to speak publicly about company matters.
The Washington Post used anonymous Twitter sources to try and further hurt his reputation.
Newsbusters reported:
Once Elon Musk took over Twitter and started mocking the liberal media, the liberal media was bound and determined to portray him as ruining his reputation. On Christmas morning, the headline on the front page of The Washington Post was “Musk’s Twitter drama depletes his stature: Erratic leadership spurs a crisis of confidence across tech empire.”
Online, it was “Twitter brings Elon Musk’s genius reputation crashing down to earth.” This hit piece by tech reporter Faiz Siddiqui was loaded with bitter anonymous sources.
The story began with an unnamed Twitter employee challenging Musk when he said Twitter’s code needed a complete rewrite: “One of the participants asked what he meant — pushing for him to explain it from top to bottom.” Musk then apparently said “Amazing, wow…You’re a jackass…what a moron.” Then Siddiqui added: “The incident highlights the new reality facing Musk, who also runs Tesla and SpaceX: a crisis of confidence in his once-unquestioned brilliance.”
This is what people should hate about recreated conversations from anonymous employees. We don’t have an actual quote challenging Musk, so we can judge just how hostile it was. But it’s created a “crisis of confidence.” His reputation for brilliance is “unraveling.”
Musk responded to this by warning the media to worry about its own reputation and that “we have only just begun.”
Since taking over as Twitter CEO Musk has confirmed just how corrupt Twitter was.
The democrats and mainstream media are trying to stop Musk because he is exposing the truth.
I’ll wait til TSLA drops to $50/ share. They’re not done giving him the Trump treatment yet.
The Propaganda Media is a collection of criminal entities whose purpose is for powerful korporations to give illegal political in-kind contributions to further their globalist causes.
Tesla stock prices plunged nearly 20 percent.
Big deal Meta has dropped 46%
All of them are taking a hit that type of businesses have peaked yoyo stocks time for them.
When you open your phone every news feed scrolling across your phone is an attack on Elon musk from the media constantly just like they did Trump they act in such a uniform fashion the old Soviets had nothing on our state of affairs in info dissemination today
It’s ridiculous it’s so blatant
They loved Elon same as they once did Trump
A perfect storm’: It’s anyone’s guess when Tesla stock will stop tanking

At this point, it may be easier to change a tire on a Model S in under 10 minutes than to try to call a bottom in Tesla’s (TSLA) battered stock.
Shares of the EV maker tanked 11.4% on Tuesday’s session on reports the company would run at reduced capacity at its key Shanghai plant through January, which raised fresh doubts on the current pace of consumer demand. Tesla’s ticker page was among the top three visited on Yahoo Finance, underscoring the ongoing angst on the always volatile stock.

Shares shed as much as 4% in premarket trading Wednesday before rebounding.
In the wake of the latest drop, the startling stats on Tesla’s stock price (and anything tied to it) became that much more jaw-dropping:
One-month: -41%
Three-month: -60%
Six-month: -55%
Year-to-date: -70% (S&P 500 -19%)
Market cap lost year-to-date: $241 billion
Elon Musk net worth lost year-to-date: -$141 billion
Analysts contend the bottom is not yet in sight for the stock despite the bruising sell-off into 2023.
“Musk set off this five-alarm fire on Tesla’s stock and he is the only one that can extinguish it. It’s a perfect storm between the Musk Twitter fiasco and now demand cracking,” Wedbush analyst and vocal Musk critic Dan Ives told Yahoo Finance.

In large part, the fact no one on the Street is trying to make a bottom call on Tesla’s stock reflects the mounting bad news swirling around the company.
First are the negative optics on demand both in the U.S. and China.
Tesla said on its website last week it will offer $7,500 discounts on Model 3 and Model Y vehicles delivered in the U.S. in December. That coincides with analysts slashing fourth-quarter delivery estimates ahead of them being reported in early January.
Then the elephant in the room remains — Musk’s continued chaotic running of Twitter and how it may impact the operations of Tesla.
The prospect of Musk selling more shares to fuel his turnaround at Twitter have also weighed on the stock. Musk said in a new Twitter spaces chat a week ago he wouldn’t sell anymore Tesla shares until 2024 at the earliest. He has this year made similar proclamations only to subsequently sell more stock.

He should claim they are racist for the organized attacks on an African American.
Musk responded to this by warning the media to worry about its own reputation and that “we have only just begun.”
Nice.
Musk has repeatedly said Tesla stock is overpriced right now. The media keeps attacking him for Tesla stock prices dipping. I think most investors are betting on Musk long-term. He believes that Tesla has the only real self-driving tech and that this will make tesla cars 5 times more valuable than competitors. (This will probably take some form of ride-sharing profit into consideration.) He believes Tesla’s robotics will be more profitable than their cars and trucks, including semis.

““We Have Only Just Begun”
I hope that scares the Hell pout of them.

Depends on the product the most advertised usually is the least sold.
Yeah but he is one of the richest guys on the planet. You can’t begin to conceive how much he doesn’t care about anyone else’s opinion of anything he does.
I like him.
In addition to producing cars, Tesla also builds the electric motors that position the rocket engines and steering fins on the SpaceX Falcon, Starship and Super Heavy launchers as well as designing and building the Optimus robots. They are more than j
A billionaire ‘declassifying’ sacred Twitter docs is a thing to behold.
There are still a lot of questions that need to be asked and answered. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t.
A few of them being:
Who in the FBI authorized the $3million? What are the names of the government folks that were meeting with Twitter? The FBI is a thing, not a person. A thing doesn’t make decisions.
Who in DHS was making these decisions? There are emails, etc concerning all of this, who wrote those emails?
So many more. One leads to another one.
But a blanket….FBI Bad….doesn’t cut it, IMHO
Horse hockey. The stock prices of almost everything are falling because WaPo's beloved senile old fool of a President is destroying the U.S. economy.
