Discussions about Elon Musk and, specifically, Tesla has become quite the lightning rod around here with negative sentiment rising. Here's a little tidbit of info that I think partly explains it: a lot of it is driven by schadenfraude. "Investors have placed more bets against Tesla than any other U.S. stock, with short interest hovering around 25 percent, according to S3 Analytics."

So I suspect a fair amount of posturing and astroturfing amongst the detractors mixed within those who have are more sincere in their positions.

As always, be skeptical.
