Why would this be evil? You'd expect nothing less from a genius. He protected Tesla investors (yes, you) from speculative price drop when he sold $8.5 billion worth of stock. He'll reinvest the money on sending people to Mars so we don't go extinct like the dinosaurs.He'll pay the same idiot lawyers that represented Ms Amber so the even bigger idiot executives at Twitter won't get a cent.Genius.

And if Tesla actually falls to the level that JPMorgan projected, this will be a mega win for Musk personally.

If true this would be one of the most evil deeds ever. But it will not surprise me as even Bill Gates was already selling Tesla from more than a month ago.
