This.
I'm sick of people giving high-profile people in the tech sector a pass on their shitty behaviour because of the pervasive hero-worship culture. Jobs, Zuck, Torvalds, etc.
Irrespective of Musk "caring too much" or whatever other justification his fans have concocted, this is exactly the sort of behaviour (lying to manipulate the market) we have laws to prohibit.
We see articles every so often about how Tech as an industry needs to play catch up on the Ethics side of things. Now's the chance.
