Right. Tesla short-sellers and media critics say all their doings are virtuous and normal actions in the context of stock markets, but I think the intensity of the feeding-frenzy makes it all a bit weird.

For example, let's say I think IBM has oversold 'Watson' AI. I would take a short position in IBM and start publishing my concerns. Fair enough. But if I start camping outside every hospital that uses Watson, badgering staff going in and out, it should at least raise eyebrows... Same with all the claims the Tesla short-sellers manage to spread by spending their lives flying planes over factories and camped out near parking lots trying to count vehicle production/sale figures, leading to mainstream media publishing vague allegations like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/01/business/tesla-cars-quest...
