Wow...I've lost all hope in HN. It's officially become worse than Reddit in terms of astroturfing. I don't know how you can take a story about someone inside Tesla sabotaging their operations and come out against Tesla in this situation, but somehow every single comment in this thread has manged to do that in different ways. "Tesla's fault for letting this happened!" "It's just an excuse for production delays!" "Elon's paranoid!" "Conspiracy theorist!" "Blaming short sellers is what Enron did! Leave the poor short sellers alone!"

I don't trust anything I read on HN anymore. Alright bots, now down vote me into oblivion where all the pro-Tesla comments end up.



Why do you assume it's astroturfing? In my opinion, a lot of people just don't like Tesla or Elon Musk.

It's dangerous to assume that everyone who disagrees with you on the internet is a bot.


Left and right extremism seems to be taking over the conversation worldwide these days. It's creeping in everywhere. What is most scary is that it is likely going to have to get much worse before it gets better..

Somebody posted this and it about sums it all up: John Cleese vs Extremism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLNhPMQnWu4 .
