I have problems with some of Musk's practices, but his products are real, and it is NOT a Ponzi scheme. I understand people's dislike of Musk for his views on unions and labor practices, but let us stick to facts, not false accusations.

As to selling off, Musk has had ample opportunities to cash out and run, and never has in 13 years as a publicly traded company.
