As someone involved in the car space professionally and personally; most people that I know wish Tesla well, but think that Musk is a crazy person who’s going to absolutely wreck his own company.

This article is just a piss take of a guy who has achieved a lot and made enormous contributions to society and has done some self destructive things in the process. Too much pressure does that to anyone. Love him or hate him, he is a less charismatic Steve Jobs.

Is it really a 'piss take' of Elon Musk or the people who idolize him?

The fact that Elon Musk may have influence in our world is even more of a reason to exercise some critical thinking when it comes to his ideas.

The article does not veer off into discussion about Musk's personal choices that some would label destructive. It is certainly a critical article, but it does not seem fair to classify this article as a pisstake.
