Musk "praised" that insane Russian tweet by saying:
> Those are definitely the most absurd predictions I’ve ever heard, while also showing astonishing lack of awareness of the progress of artificial intelligence and sustainable energy.

(Elon's second tweet was before the pre-market opened.)
If you have a better explanation about why it took him a couple of hours to try some damage control I'm all ears.
edit to your edit(s): If you think Musk doesn't have better access than you and I do then that's pretty naive, obviously he is monitoring Tesla's stock price like a hawk and if the sentiment drops he'll be aware of it well before the figures are published.
Just doing sentiment analysis on Twitter would give you a pretty good indication of where the price is headed and guess who happens to have access to the firehose? And that's before we get into personal phone calls from people holding large swaths of Tesla stock as security against dodgy loans.
edit2: too many ninja edits to keep up with...
This is not a thing. The figures come out in real time for very basic trading accounts and iirc google finance gives them real time from the exchanges.
Also, the opening price is not set by pre-market action unless there a massive amount of abnormal AH volume. The participants that show up for the opening bids are 3-4 orders of magnitude higher in volume than the pre-market traders. Gauging general market sentiment from after hours action is folly, even in highly traded instruments like the index futures or the SPY etf.
