Dude played everybody. He had to sell his stock soon, for various reasons... So, he pisses off the politicians, until they give soundbites with the nutritional value of an Oreo. Then, he asks them to actually back their soundbites up, exposing their hypocrisy and their piss poor policies.

Once he's done his work? He gives Twitter the "option" to choose whether he sells his stock, knowing full well what "choice" people will "make" with somebody else's money.

Now, the politicians look incompetent, he looks like he's altruistic when he drops the Tesla stock from sale... And he gets to reap all the benefits from his sale, now that he no longer has his cash locked in his stock.

Can't say I don't respect the hustle.
