Well people that buy cars actually like the VW's more, look up sales/registration data in Europe.

Doesn't mean everyone has to report every joke or opinion a tech CEO makes (it's not just Musk). I don't mind him doing it if he thinks its funny, I mind people acting as if it's notable (which is why I choose the comparison to celebrity news: I'm also not objecting to these people having lives and doing stuff, but to the reporting and framing and it getting spread everywhere)

I think you would classify me as one of those haters. I don't actually hate Tesla, I just think the valuation is a bubble and stuff like this reinforces my opinion.

When it comes to investments, I want substance: Don't call it autopilot if it is not an autopilot. Don't invest in stuff without inherent value. If you sell way less, then you should probably worth way less. I am just a very boring person in that way.

Outside of the stock valuation (and maybe the environmental damage, Bitcoin causes), I find all of it very entertaining.
