Are we supposed to be outraged that the feelies of some wall street elites we hurt?!

[FMAMGV]

I dont like tesla but i dont care for corporate analysts

[clarriott]

He's a rockstar engineer it probably does go to his head. But if he keeps doing what he does i don't care. And it was fun when he told that analyst to take a hike.

[paulsharkey]

I completely understand where Elon is coming from.

[marks]

Con men don't like to be asked questions about their financial situation.

[lhenderson]

he said he wasn't there to push his stock... the questions were boring ... what more do you want???

[mpzcore]

Elon know Tesla will be a success without those analysts
Tesla is the future of motor vehicles and Tesla cares about global warming

[jamespharris]

Never be too old or too proud to learn. Never.

[TimothyFish]

If I were a shareholder in his company I would be selling. If the CEO isn't going to let shareholders know what is happening in the company then I don't want anything to do with it.

[NasTalkz]

Elon can do whatever he wants, the question was dry, he asked a question about percentages, who cares about PERCENTAGES, we don't care about what's going on now, Tesla is for the FUTURE

[dailjr]

ELON MUSK is still GREAT. 100% of the time!

[karlpj]

Go ahead Elon, they deserve it. In any case they would be equally critical no matter what you say, as always.

[nathancommissariat]

Look at the stock now. Great job analysts.

[earlgreystoke]

Musk's house of cards is trembling...

[djschims]

Hey, I got an idea, lets get some analysts to analyze how Musk treated the analyst. Here's a little hint to what Musk was saying, the stock market is legalized gambling, don't gamble if you're scared to lose your money and I'm not going to bullshit you to get you to risk your money for my benefit. Ask me something we all don't already know, something that interests me and then I will talk to you. Be prepared to be original if you're interacting with someone who is unique and doesn't think or act as others. He gave them a chance and they couldn't deviate from the script.

[earthwizz]

Are 'dismissive' and 'nasty' synonymous? These questions had already been answered and these analysts just haven't been paying attention.

[trudijones]

Musk is cute, but I think he has problems getting along with humans.

[another]

There goes his next funding round. Genius move. Not. He is toast. Gonna cry unicorn tears.

[GTOlsson]

Why ask questions that are already answered in the report and opening remarks of the conference call? Analysts got way better info about the future of Tesla through Galileo's questions.

[haydenmacfarlane]

All of the questions have already been answered. Why do they need to be reiterated 3 or 4 times in one call.
