Even if we give Musk the benefit of the doubt about what he believes at minimum he is inept. CEOs should never be making public statements around sensitive issues like production numbers, funding etc without discussing it at length with PR and Legal first.

And nobody is attacking Tesla for the sake of it. They are doing it because his behaviour is sometimes abhorrent, childish, unethical and it often encourages others to do the same. And just like with Theranos entrepreneurs should be doubly critical of others who drag us all down.
