On: 'Dogequest' Site Claims to Dox Tesla Owners Across the U.S.

Tesla has been in the news so much recently, from things caused by external actors. I wonder if there is some ongoing short and distort.

You think at Tesla's P/E ratio it's a "short and distort?" It's a meme stock that detonated because the meme field generator fell down the k-hole.

no you're just seeing increased public backlash against Elon being taken out on Tesla.

HN seems to be really struggling with the why here. The bubble that people live in on here is wild to me. Maybe you have issues with the tactics, but the why is pretty clear.

[tyleo → spacemadness]

Agreed. The whole financial news market seems to be like this though. I see headlines like, “Tesla drops on Cybertruck quality issues.”

Get real, everyone knows the brand is damaged.

Tesla is grossly over-valued even with Musk totally removed from the equation.

The CEO is hardly an external actor. What you're seeing is the personality behind a personality-driven business steadily destroying his reputation, and his business along with it. Elon Musk's public image went from "real-life Iron Man genius inventor" to "Nazi salute guy" - his businesses can't just brush that off.

Tesla short sellers have been using the media for many years.
