Fair enough but screwing speculators in favor of die hard fans is not enough reason to hold off.

If this were a class-action lawsuit by people who were shorting Tesla stock, or owned some option on it, I would agree that it would be serve the purposes of class-action lawsuits (aside from lawyer-enrichment). But it isn't.

Unfortunately for your position, it’s considered to harm all investors when a key executive mouths off like this.

I definitely agree that key executives mouthing off does harm the shareholders; the problem is that these shareholder class-actions against companies do not provide a real remedy to the harmed shareholders.

I also agree that courts are allowing these lawsuits to proceed despite hearing objections like mine.
