He is human and he has a big ego. And it was ridiculously stupid comment he made.
But a lot of people are envious of him and want him to fail. So I take criticisms against him with a grain of salt.

Musk’s company’s don’t buy adverting, so there is that reason for the press hating him.
FWIW, Trump didn’t like to buy advertising and would often go for free publicity instead.
Same here. We need people like him, warts and all. Who else has the guts to try for the impossible. As much as I don't like electric cars (because I believe gasoline-fueled cars are a proven technology), people do love their Teslas, and it has glowing reviews versus the crappy electrics other makers offer. So more power to him, and I hope he succeeds where others fail.

Word got out that he was a notable contributor to the GOP...
elon is a joke.
I can’t thing of a larger gap between reputation and actual results in the entire world.
He presides over an auto factory where Toyota/GM built 400,000+ cars per year in the 1980’s.
And with a brand new “state of the art” assembly line, after a year, Elon can’t even manage 5000 cars per week for two weeks in a row.
The amazing thing to me is that there are still “investors” who will pay over $300 for shares of this “equity” !
Nothing wrong with success, but if it comes on the taxpayer’s dime, it is inherently fraudulent. And just what has he actually produced?—indeed, electric cars are very old technology, and he makes overly-expensive ones that tend to self-immolate.
What, precisely, does that mean? Trashing one tenth of one half of the car? Fully trashing that tenth of a half?
He is texceptionally smart and he made an insane amount of money too fast. He is so smart he thinks he knows more and thinks better than anyone else on the planet and made his money so fast that he really has no concept of where it came from. It dropped out of the sky on him and he doesn’t see why everyone can’t just hold out his hands and money falls into them. That is true of several tech wizards in the Valley.They can be great at financing innovative ideas but they have learned nothing about economics or history.
now, now, he was a little testy. the billionaire’s govt welfare check was late this month.
Tesla may be questionable, but SpaceX is not.

Please PM me your address so I can send you a bill for our share of “Muskism” subsidies.
I don't think he is a fraud. I think he is a genious who has the ability to bring ambitious projects to fruition and to market.
Will current market values prevale? Will stockholders be rewarded? Who knows. But they know the risks. I don't think Elon's companies are reporting false results.
So I don't see fraud there. I see envy on the part of his critics.

They are shorting Tesla stock and using the media to drive the value down.
