They are probably deep into Tesla equity , which clouds the judgement of the cult memeb...ehm I mean shareholders.

So Elon is trying to kill the Tesla investors?

Maybe Elon Musk dumped his coin, but Tesla is a public company. Tesla almost certainly didn't dump its coin without public notice.

Nevermind. I can answer that question for you. You're a Tesla shareholder.https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354703

(for anyone downvoting because they think this comment is claiming the man is vertically challenged, it is referring to him being in a financial position that will gain value on the decline of the Tesla stock https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_(finance) )

Doesn't Tesla being public prevent a lot of this?

Tesla is not about cars. It’s a marketing company and its product is the Tesla share price. This Twitter stunt is just one in a long line of stunts that Musk does to get attention for himself. People invest in Tesla because they want to invest in Musk as an individual.This media hijacking is similar to the way that Trump got elected in 2016.I bet that if SpaceX ever went public it would cause Tesla to fall as everybody who wants to invest in “Musk is a genius” would invest in SpaceX instea
