Such a comment is what frightens me in today's uber-connected world of instant information. Don't get me wrong - I understand what you are saying and know the comment is genuine.
We have in French an expression "il n'y a pas de fumée sans feu" (there is not smoke without fire) which means that since a random person (Musk in that case) said a random thing (his tweet), there must be something behind.
In the past it was a village gossiping, worst case one could envision leaving and making his life somewhere else. Today, he is dead socially because "who knows".
Musk should be punished for such words. oit punished by a few millions because this is not going to teach him anything (beside the fact that having a lot of money is cool) but rather denying him for 5 or 10 years the possibility to communicate on Internet (à la Mitnick) and denying him the possibility to be a CEO/engineer. Just so that he understands how painful this can be.
