Freedom of speech isn’t the issue. He can be allowed to say what he does, but that doesn’t exempt him from the public consequences of lies and abuse.

It’s admirable that a company can reach a $200 billion valuation in the USA weeks after the CEO tells the SEC to suck his cock. The issue is with investors who aren’t questioning if that’s a sign of lack of ethics.

What’s the ethical failure here?

I would agree that it doesn’t look like good judgement- but shorts are literally betting against him and his company. It’s not obvious to me where that behavior (crowing against his adversaries) crosses a line into being wrong or evil.
