Is there any verification to his core claims? His videos meander so much, his claims are vague, and the statement about firing his attorneys is concerning.
The specificity of the claims, high rate of battery fires on the road, general pattern of behavior at Tesla with respect to build quality and disregard for safety. Not enough to convict anyone but enough to convince me that it is more probable than not. It should also be enough to convince anyone that there is a serious possibility that it's true.
What verification would have satisfied you for the fraud at Wirecard (or Enron, etc.)?
I think you know that the issue here is there are too many folks who will believe Musk nearly no matter what he says. It's going to take some really strong evidence to slow or stop his freight train. Maybe that comes; maybe it doesn't. But the power of true believers is strong and real. It helped save Apple in the late 90s, and it will give Musk many, many second chances.
Edit: My comment was very, very neutral. And very, very factual. Shame on you whoever downvoted me.
I didn't speculate about anything. I just said that the public will require overwhelming evidence of something bad to change its mind because of the cult of personality around Musk. That's simply a fact.
I created a new account because my old one would get downvoted because my username was arguably offensive. I got tired of that.
I'm not sure what I'd be asking you to buy here. I'm neither siding with or against OP. I'm just making a point about levels of proof needed regarding actions by someone who is beloved by the public.
This isn't really controversial. Look how many allegations it took to sway people about Bill Cosby, for example.
