They sound exasperated, even when they profess to be his fans. And they all seem to want just one thing: Please, stop tweeting.

Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk’s tweet appearing to mock the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has garnered thousands of replies and retweets, with several people begging Musk to consider how his social-media antics continue to drag Tesla stock — and, in some cases, reportedly cost them their hard-earned money.

Tesla TSLA, -1.83% shares ended 7% lower Friday in the wake of Musk’s “Shortseller Enrichment Commission” tweet and Musk’s renewed criticism of short sellers.

Musk tweeted at the first few people to comment on the original tweet, including to a person who said he appeared to be working “against us longs” as well.

“Hang in there. If you are truly long-term, it will be fine,” Musk tweeted.

Here are some of the more desperate-sounding tweets begging Musk to stay away from social media:

To be sure, the folks who claimed to have put their life savings in Tesla stock were immediately called out by others as, perhaps, following an unwise investment strategy.

Musk’s first tweet calling the Securities and Exchange Commission “the Shortseller Enrichment Commission” hit around noon Pacific time on Thursday and has garnered so far 4,800 retweets and 33,000 likes.

Even Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth & Investment Management and a Tesla shareholder who had been supportive, put in his plea:

Tesla stock ended down 1.1% for the week as the last four sessions of losses erased a 17% advance on Monday, the first day of trading after Musk and regulators reached an agreement to end SEC charges that he misled investors when he tweeted he had “funding secured” to take Tesla private.

As part of the agreement, Tesla will impose controls to oversee Musk’s social-media communications, but it was unclear Friday when Tesla intends to step in. The agreement, which also required Musk and Tesla to pay fines and Musk to step down as Tesla’s chairman, has yet to be approved by the courts.
