It seems to me there is a particular group downplaying Musk’s actions and Tesla’s volatility…the financial analysts / pundits, business news reporters and the investor class. They all have a vested interest in Tesla’s continued stock value. They downplay Musk’s political actions in favor of discussions of buying Tesla stock on the dip. They emphasize (or want all investors to believe) that Musk is an infallible business genius. If fooling everyone is genius, he’s succeeding…and so is the investor class.
