It's fine to point things out, but on HN please do so in a way that is (a) informative and (b) avoids inflammatory rhetoric.
Even assuming you have a good underlying point, the comment you posted was internet flamebait as well as pointing way off topic. We're trying to avoid that kind of thing here, not just because it's below the desired quality threshold but more importantly because it evokes worse from others. If you think of the value of a comment as the expected value of the subthread it will lead to, this may make more sense.
Name one short seller who has been backed by the oil industry. Tesla is worth 3 Exxons, 3 Chevrons, or 10 BPs. This is a tired excuse that gets the motivations of short sellers backward. They do not short a company and then find damaging information, they find damaging information and then short the company. None of that excuses Tesla’s complete disregard for human life, particularly here by not having the advanced driver monitoring capabilities that their competitors have and instead relying on easily bypassed measures like steering wheel torque that will clearly lead to predictable abuse. Elon Musk has never condemned the social media stunts where people recklessly test self driving by getting out of the driver’s seat, and even commented on the porn video without condemning the behavior it encourages.
Did you see that video? It's clearly a propaganda video with various obvious lies, biases and cherry-picking. It contains false statements like "Elon musk is not an engineer, he is a scam artist". It's very clearly produced by oil industry or someone who benefits from delaying electric cars. It's professionally made to have an emotional effect. It's very similar in style to all those anti-vax propaganda videos.
