The CEO lashed out at analysts during a May 2 Tesla earnings call, calling their questions “dry” and even refusing to answer a few. “Boring bonehead questions are not cool,” Musk said when asked about capital expenditures. “Next?” What came next was a stock plunge, with Tesla’s share price falling by almost $4 billion. Musk’s Social standing also took a hit, with positive opinions falling to 53 percent over the next few days. That said, it looks as though Musk might have the last laugh, both on Wall Street and online. On Friday, he stood by his comments and promised to get back at investors who shorted Tesla. Stock prices rose nearly 3 percent on Monday, and while Musk is still down, he is far from out with the online crowd. Opinions on the CEO were 60 percent positive as of Tuesday night. –Hugo Guzman
