In addition to the substantive points raised by other commenters, the context is notable. The Geohot story was written by Ashley Vance, author of an unauthorized Elon Musk biography and with whom Musk and Tesla have had prior disagreements. That may influence the degree to which a rebuttal may be felt necessary, and the tone chosen for the rebuttal.

Source? AFAIK Vance's biography was authorized and they're on good terms.
