> What I find interesting is nobody complained about Musk’s social media antics when he proclaimed himself to be Technoking of Tesla or when he hyped dogecoins with diamond hands.

People have indeed criticized both of those and many of the other things Musk has tweeted before the recent Tesla stock decline, and even the SEC has taken legal action based on ]Musk’s past tweets.

Not enough to discourage him from doing it some more.
“People didn't complain beefore the recent stock decline”

and

“Musk didn't change his behavior in response to complaints (except, perhaps, to lean into the behavior complained about even harder)”

are fundamentally different claims.

But people did complain. And Musk did not change his behavior. And I suspect that as long as he isn't smacked down really hard he won't change it in the future either.
