Excited for the Tesla episode of Dirty Money on Netflix when this story comes to an end.

It's a good site to register if you follow equities and if you invest.

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 experiences fielding "responses" and "critiques" from Musk and Musk's online supporters.

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?), multiple days a week. It's so vitriolic I avoid reading SA just because of it. And there are others.

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.

I'm able to read the full article on mobile without being pestered to register (using Chrome on Android). I didn't even need to request the "Desktop site" either.

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.
