I think that the problem is *not* with Elon’s opinions, whether or not I agree with them. The problem is with those who mistakenly judge the quality of his companies by what he says. It’s obvious that a majority of people don’t care or don’t know what he says; they buy millions of his products because of the merits of the products rather than what he says. And his companies are doing extremely well. I’ve tried to discuss this with a few people, and they are adamant and argumentive about how anti-Musk they are. That’s their problem, not his. And I think that 99% of the hatred comes from the newsmedia, who make him out to be much, much worse than he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the record, he says he doesn’t care what others think – it’s a free country and he is exercising freedom of speech. Disclaimer: I own Tesla shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
