Tesla boss Elon Musk wiped $14bn (£11bn) off the carmaker's value after tweeting its share price was too high.

It also knocked $3bn off Mr Musk's own stake in Tesla as investors promptly bailed out of the company.

"Tesla stock price too high imo," he said, one of several tweets that included a vow to sell his possessions.

In other tweets, he said his girlfriend was mad at him, while another simply read: "Rage, rage against the dying of the light of consciousness."

Very bad bad

Smart move. GUESS WHO BOUGHT THE SHARES THAT WERE DUMPED? ELON Musk.

He knows what he's doing.
He wants all of the to ball out now and the stock will double rise, then they will rush back for the inflated price and Elon makes the money.

It's amazing how we always think that the people we adore or look up to always know what they are doing no matter how stupid, but never hesitate to criticize others when they do the same thing.

Well... You might have a point (although I can't readily think of others that we might have criticized) but here's the thing.

Elon built 2 multi billion dollar (blue chip) companies from scratch (asides his earlier businesses). I'd like to believe that someone that has made decisions at such levels over the years knows exactly what he's doing when he tweets what might look like crap to others.

Besides, remember that spacex and tesla are in no way hurt by pandemic. (econo-wise) rather, stock value jumped when crude prices tanked.

So.. The dude knows exactly what he did.

Elon Musk is one of the smartest, most intelligent people I know. I respect the guy. Let's hope sha, that the tweet was not as a result of binge drinking Though I guess it's much more likely, like you said, that he knows what he's doing.
