Elon Musk Calls Boss of Tesla Troll Who's Heavily Invested In Oil Industry (electrek.co)
Okian Warrior shares a report from Electrek, written by Fred Lambert: One of Tesla's biggest anonymous trolls/shorts has been doxxed as an investment manager heavily invested in the oil industry. He has now deleted his Twitter account, which he used to promote his blog posts about Tesla and attack anyone saying anything that could be perceived as positive on Tesla, after Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly called his boss to complain about his behavior.
We are talking about "Montana Skeptic" who has been using Seeking Alpha, a financial blog aggregator, and Twitter to push the bear case on Tesla for the past 3 years. Hiding behind his anonymous persona on social media, Montana Skeptic went beyond just pushing the bear case. He also used the platforms to send insults and attacks to Tesla bulls, bloggers, YouTubers, and reporters discussing anything that he saw as potentially being positive for Tesla, including [this author] on numerous occasions to the point where I had to block him. But now that his real identity has been revealed to be Larry Fossi, a managing director at Rahr Enterprise, which is reportedly heavily invested in oil, we learn that his motivations could have originated from other reasons.

"Fewer by 10" is straight from the Tesla press release. Amazing. In fact all the talking points are straight from Tesla.
As A/C has noted. That is all complete bullshit.
Mr. Musk had no conversations with anyone on site, before turning up with a solution no-one wanted.
None of you other points are anything more than stuff you've made up.
Vern Unsworth is an internationally known cave explorer, and lives locally. He knows the cave system well, and was called upon early in the rescue.
Elon Musk is a businessman who knows nothing of caves. He also called someone a "pedo" and I can't imagine why you're defending him.
Fanboys will defend Musk until the bitter end. He is going to take them to Mars you know. Away from all the common folk here on Earth. Hero worship. Disgusting really. Meanwhile there are people actually changing the world in a positive way, but ignored because they aren't egomaniac billioniares.
