> For every incompetent investor who comes on board, you'll have a great investor who'll trust you.

Incompetence is blind trust. A good investor actually cares about the performance of the companies in which they invest - and that includes its ability to realistically project and meet those projections. A CEO who promises the moon on a stick and delivers little is not doing his job well. I am a fan of Elon, but you can't take a whole heap of money and then complain that people are interested.

As people have said, you can avoid this obligation to your shareholders by not having any.
