This is so weird, did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be? or he truly doesn't care?

TSLA is up 60% from a year ago and 700% from 5 years ago. He's not in any way hurting.

Yes, but that's insane, isn't it? Whi's going to buy a Tesla now? Eco conscious left wingers hate Musk with all their heart, and right wingers hate electric cars or any mention of climate change. Who's left?

People have been saying Tesla is wildly overvalued for a decade now. Which logically I can't really dispute but at some point you can't logically continue to ignore how the market values it either.

I'm rooting for Musk to fall on his face as much as the next guy. But I'm not delusional enough to substitute my desired reality for actual reality. By any measure Musk has had a remarkably successful year or so. He's much richer and wields more influence over the government than any non-president in history that I can think of.
