Musk has no history of pumping and dumping or trying to make a quick buck like this so it would be completely out of form for him.

Musk is a straight forward person and has said on many occasions that he absolutely hates deception and strikes out at people that he thinks are deceiving him. Similarly he's not the type to lie either. He says what he thinks are the facts at the time he says them.

Can't decide if you're being sarcastic. But for the record, Musk is absolutely not straightforward at all, never has been. He's a troll, a bully, a right-wing nut, and a schemer.

It seems to be a common but fallacious inference nowadays that if you act like a jerk, then you must be telling the truth. "Truth tellers don't hold back" or some such nonsense. Jerkiness becomes proof of truth.
