Elon Musk has wiped out billions of dollars in Tesla’s value (TSLA) due to a strange series of tweets, including one in which he claimed Tesla’s stock was trading too high.
The CEO has been using Twitter lately to promote his views that the COVID-19 pandemic is not as bad as it is being portrayed in the media, and how he thinks the US should start lifting its shelter-in-place orders, which he describes as “house arrest” and something that infringes on constitutional rights.

It’s a subject that is divisive even among Tesla fans, which are normally some of his strongest supporters.

Yesterday, we shared a poll about how Musk’s comments are affecting your view of Tesla, and almost 40% said that it is negatively affecting Tesla:

So "dude YOUR LOTS AND LOTS of money you get from "taxpayers" to launch your rockets and getting tax breaks to put up plants for batteries and other products, and you then get ooh's and aah's from your plans, really, yet in essence you pay "NO TAXES'
and your ranting like some truther, ..........I was thinking of public safety should be a primary concern so that you can enjoy your constitutional rights later on or am I missing something about public safety, or is it just a nothing burger ........................

1. I saw the tweets earlier, I assumed he was hacked.

2. I don't know, but you would think he would have a pretty secure platform.............

3. You would think. If he wasn't hacked, he definitely was mentally altered.

5. He likes his psychedelics.

Which is fine if you don't tweet stupid stuff while you're on them, especially if you run a multi-billion dollar company.

6. Very true.

7. Sometimes I wonder if @realDonaldTrump was hacked.

But then again, he really is that big of an asshole!
