I don’t think the ballpark estimate 0-500k could possibly be interpreted as accurate/reliable (and by extension, bad) information.

Except by some particularly whiny people looking for an excuse.

He said "around 500k", not "0-500k". And the SEC isn't filing this because he tweeted "bad" information, but because he violated the settlement where he agreed to have Tesla legal review all such tweets, which he didn't do. That he had to correct the numbers just made it obvious that he might have failed to do so.
