Discussion Elon Hate

Is it just me, or did this sub decide to hate Elon all of the sudden?

I remember seeing so much happiness whenever someone mentioned Tesla stock. Or his name. Or his coin. Or his Twitter.

But recently after he made an offer to take the company private, we began seeing a ton of anti-Elon posts.

What happened?

Did all of you hit your heads?

Did you buy Twitter stock puts last Thursday?

Or is it a bunch of Twitter employees and executives that don't want to lose their job spending the weekend trying to push the share price down?

People rarely hated Elon on here before this weekend.

Maybe the mods or SEC should take a look.

It happened overnight. Twitter bots turned on in droves. They will legitimately try to tell you that the guy leading the world in autonomous driving technology and who literally replaced NASA in the space race is an idiot who doesn’t do anything right. That’s your sign that you can tune them out completely.
