Yea my first thought was that Musk was just trying to squeeze the shorts, but that would be highly illegal. Musk can't be that stupid. The CEO of a publicly traded company can't act like Trump and tweet in bad-faith to try to bully reality into conforming to his wishes.

I suppose the CEO of a publicly trading company CAN act like the President of the United States?

Seems like a good strategy actually. The strategy got Donald Trump the Presidency.

(edit): why all the downvotes? I realize my comment might have come off as sarcastic. Sorry that was not my intent--I just wanted to point out something I noticed.

Lol, a private company CEO should be more serious than USA president?! At least I didn't see from where Trump is not serious about his tweet.

We live in interesting times. Statistically speaking, a jackass CEO is born every minute, whereas a jackass POTUS is very, very rare.
