I disagree. Why do business with a person you expect to criticize your work?
Next think he'll be writing about how dissatisfied he is with the car.

Read it again.  That was MUSK's defense, such as it is.

I'm probably swimming against the current here, but I don't think this 
reflects well on Tesla.  

The blogger wasn't very polite, but these days everybody's a critic.  You 
expect that in business.  IMO, the best response to a post like that is to 
say "Thanks for your comments; guess we can't please everybody," and move 
on.

To me, what Musk did suggests poor impulse control.  

There's a dismaying tendency in the US today to celebrate rudeness and 
impulsive behavior as "refreshing honesty."  That's just wrongheaded and 
damaging.  

Basically, Musk had a tantrum.  I don't think he's helped himself, or his 
company, or the EV movment, by letting it become public knowledge.
