Its really a shame this has been flagged off of the front page, seems kind of important that Musk is personally calling bloggers employers to threaten them with litigation.
What's next? Suing shareholders who sell stocks instead of buying them?
Looks interesting, wish i could read it on mobile without registering.
In summary: * Author wrote a number of articles analyzing Tesla from a financial perspective. Some of them critical of Tesla. * Elon Musk contacted author's employer, threatening to sue if author continued to write. * Author announces in response to this threat he will no longer write. Not just "no longer write about Tesla", no longer write, period. * Author indicates this is in some ways a relief, as he has had poor…
* Author is director at company heavily invested in oil industry
* Author has published false stories regarding Tesla.
* Author has incited social media attacks on Tesla advocates, bulls, and fans.
Basically, the author was using pseudonymity and relative anonymity to manipulate the market in which he and his employer are heavily invested.
I am not a lawyer. Given his company's position and his own personal position, what he was doing is at least unethical and may even be illegal, exposing him and possibly his employer to liability once his employer became aware of his editorial moonlighting.

Montana skeptic wasn’t a troll, he wrote extremely insightful articles. I’m actually shocked how many people are trashing the dude

Allegedly. I personally find the story somewhat unconvincing, but there may be some precedence here that gives the account more credence.
Admittedly I know nothing about the conduct or credibility of the blogger, but to me, “a guy on the Internet” is more credible than EM at the moment.
This is good news. I despise having my SA feed filled to the brim with TSLA because of folks with an agenda like this guy. A sample of his latest headlines: - Why are all these Tesla cars baking in the sun? - I believe Musk is bluffing about Q3 profits - Munro's teardown spells big trouble - 'Hey, maybe the government will bail out Tesla' - I don't believe tesla's delivery report A lot of drivel (and maybe libel?), m…
What if EM threatened to ruin you for reading them?

It’s good news that because you don’t like what this guy has to say, Musk threatened him through his employer to shut him up? Jesus.
