I know it is sacrilege to look askance at Elon Musk. And I know that he has an apparently real business enterprise or two that are running right now.
But I’m struck by the constant barrage of PR for some new massive scheme completely unrelated to his mundane businesses — none of which are quite self-sustaining at this point.
Pumping stock prices with press releases. Where have I seen this before?
Is the only difference between Elon Musk and OTC stock promoters the scale at which they operate?
Note: I admire Mr. Musk and hope he wins. But I am a bit put off between the disconnect between reality (turning Tesla into a high volume automobile manufacturer, for instance, generating its own free cash flow) and the hype machine.
