That's about as fair as saying there's a cabal of billionaires shorting Tesla stock and using their media companies to drive the price down every chance they get. Either way, going private eliminates the noise.
This is true. For example, deadline for Model 3 was set much lower compare the Bolt. Even though Tesla make money on every sell of Model 3 and GM loses on every sell of Bolt money. Tesla is the one in negative news because of too high expectations.
I admire his ambition and he is great for Tesla in general but as far as managing a public company his approach hasn't been very successful.
