This is nasty. Some of my brightest students became journalists and more in after-career (district reps for Congressman, chief pr for Pacbell, etc.).

So here's the SEC's lawsuit against Elon:
... and here's the relevant sanction the SEC are/were asking for:
"Ordering that Defendant be prohibited from acting as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C.§ 78l] or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) ofthe Exchange Act [15 U.S.C.§ 78o(d)];"
I.e. had he lost the lawsuit Elon would have been prohibited form being the CEO or board member of any public company, ever in the future.
I.e. the SEC was asking the court to effectively gut Tesla, in a very critical time of its corporate history - a dream come true for every Tesla anti-investor (short). This is why the stock price cratered.
100%, total and utter regulatory capture of the SEC by short-sellers - and this is why Elon tweeted the "Shortseller Enrichment Committee" tweet - because it's the simple truth.

And for quite few of them it's a selective disability: the math and ethics lapses only happen at the expense of Tesla, it never happens when reporting about GM, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen or Big Oil.

They seem happy to ignore financial peril at GM, VW, Big Oil, etc.And for quite few of them it's a selective disability: the math and ethics lapses only happen at the expense of Tesla, it never happens when reporting about GM, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen or Big Oil.
For example, here's an item about GM.

Please, everyone, use this as a learning opportunity. Almost all media is unreliable. When I read a news piece about something I know well, 9 times out of 10, it is wrong, biased, or made up crap. So ... if you think about it, if this happens to you too, this SHOULD lead you to conclude that the articles that you DON’T know anything about are ALSO wrong, biased, or made up crap.
The media doesn’t make money by tell you boring stories. It makes money by making you feel outraged, superior, disgusted, horrified or fearful. Journalists are economically incented to omit facts that don’t fit a more interesting storyline, or exaggerate other facts that do.
They're going to make Tesla steaks now? I can't wait! Especially with some Teslaquila!

In past space accidents, Elon has been very gracious, tweeting genuine condolences. He is well aware how hard space is.
He already did, oct 12 he tweeted "Glad you're safe."
He already did tweet about it: Elon Musk on Twitter
Along these lines, reading stories that you know are heavily biased or misleading is actually somewhat useful to being able to spot such stories generally. They’re usually misleading by implying something is true, without actually directly stating it is. Once you’re able to spot those patterns, you can read articles critically and know when you’re being lied to or mislead(well, most of the time. If it’s just a blatant lie, that can’t be easily spotted).

BMW still has some ways to go, their chargers were recalled due to it being a fire hazard.

Which is exactly what happened with the Model S in 2013 and 2014. Once the car was on the road and people started seeing them and talking about them then demand went up substantially. In 2012, the Model S had 10K reservations and Tesla was hoping to sell 20K to 25K a year. Now they are selling 50K a year, every year. Tesla is going to have no problem selling 400K to 500K Model 3s a year, every year.
To add to this, the FUDsters all said that the Model X would cut into Model S sales. Nope. The Model X now sells 50K a year, every year too.
And then the FUDsters said that Model 3 sales would kill the Model S and Model X. Also nope.
