Sorry, I stand my ground. Musk's response was far from brilliant, it was just plain childish. A person of maturity and character would have stood tall, maintained his dignity, better yet used a little wry humor. Instead, Musk stooped to the other guy's level. >From all indications, the blogger wasn't wrong about the poorly implemented presentation. Musk should have acknowledged that fact and apologized to him - and, just as importantly, to others at the event who were inconvenienced. If he did that, please show me where it was reported; I didn't see it. Treated properly, this story most likely would have been reported as a PR flub, and then would have been lost in the media noise from the presidential primary clown act. Musk's behavior absolutely guaranteed ample negative media coverage. Tesla and Tesla drivers are already developing a "poor little rich boy" image among the general public, and even among "lesser" EV owners. This is not going to help his cause, or that of EVs in general. That's my final word on it.
