Elon Musk's Twitter account has often drawn quick reactions from investors over the years. The entrepreneur, who is the CEO of Tesla, has often taken to the social media platform to discuss his companies, his thoughts about current events, and more.
His tweets range from confusing to funny to sometimes bizarre and span a wide array of topics. In recent years, his social media comments about Tesla have landed him in hot water with the Securities and Exchange Commission, beginning with the infamous "funding secured" tweet.
But even a lawsuit and settlement haven't stopped Musk from tweeting about Tesla, the SEC, or his thoughts about the coronavirus pandemic. He even recently weighed in on rapper Kanye West's announcement that he will run for president of the United States in 2020, telling West "you have my full support."
This year, Musk's tweets come in the midst of a searing rally for Tesla shares, which in early July were up more than 200% year-to-date. While Tesla was not immune to the coronavirus pandemic market meltdown in March, it quickly recovered its losses and surged higher on positive vehicle delivery numbers.
Here are Musk's most controversial tweets about Tesla, its stock price, and the stock market.
