Merged Tesla (i.e. Musk) being naughty?

I have no grudge against Tesla... His behavior is pretty abhorrent, especially him accusing the Thai rescue diver/hero of being a pedophile just because he told him he wasn't wanted.

I think the pressure of building up a business that a lot of people want to see fail might be getting to Musk, and he needs to address that.

However,
Tesla CEO calls Brit diver a "child rapist" who moved to Southeast Asia to take a child bride.
Musk's feud with Unsworth apparently began when Unsworth called Musk's involvement in the rescue effort a "PR stunt," telling CNN his submarine wouldn't have made it 50 metres into the cave and saying Musk could "stick his submarine where it hurts."

Looks like Musk was not the only one being 'abhorrent'.

Musk doubled down on the accusation in an email sent last week to Buzzfeed, calling Unsworth a "child rapist" who had moved to Thailand to take a child bride.

"I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what's actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you f--king *******," Musk wrote in an email that Buzzfeed published Tuesday. "He's an old, single white guy from England who's been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time."

I'm hoping Musk got his facts wrong and will get a dose of humility when he realizes it. But if it turns out to be true...

Yes, Musk is definitely not the only one being 'abhorrent'...

If Musk's claims about him being a pedo turn out to be true, that would radically restore his image in my mind. So far, he has not produced a shred of evidence for his very serious claim.

The guy was rude in dismissing Musk's aid with his minisub, sure. Musk was setting himself up for failure by very publicly inserting himself into a situation where his help was ultimately not needed. A more reasonable person might have offered his sub solution without making a PR campaign out of it first.

Musk is determined to has his twitter slap-fight. This is not admirable.

Okay I get, don't agree with but get, why people think Tesla as company isn't going to have long term success.

But somebody please explain to me why so many people want Tesla to fail. What is it about Tesla, Elon Musk, electric cars, or silicon valley style businesses that are making people's toes tap in anticipation of being able to dance on a grave one day?

It gets old too with him overpromising and underdelivering time and again, but getting a free pass in many circles. I like where he is pushing the industry, but not always his methods.
 
Elon Musk says he is going to build 300,000 cars / year.

He must have been smoking something.

Well, he's still going to get a buzz even without inhaling because the THC will cross the oral mucus membranes and enter the bloodstream. Tobacco users (think cigar, pipe and chew) don't need to inhale to get their nicotine fix.
 
Him binge drinking would be just as good marketing. Which is of course not very good if you want to appear reasonable and rational.
 
Now we need to decide if Musk was on the job.

I would say he was. He was representing the company during an interview.

I suppose this doesn't inspire stockholder confidence.
 
Some people might use the term "deranged" to mean acting without proper concern that you are destroying your own company.
