The things that happen at the fringes of Tesla world are so weird. Like today when a twitter account for a supposed “Senior Journalist at Bloomberg” named “Maisy Kinsley” followed a few too many Tesla short-sellers. Account is already suspended. 
Being the hounds that they are, the TSLAQ army quickly realized that Kinsley's profile photo was most likely generated by a machine learning tool like this: theverge.com/tldr/2019/2/15…
And got Bloomberg to admit that no one works there w/ that name.

What's more, her website is very template-y and full of copy that is also in a kind of uncanny valley between real words and something that reads like it was written by an algorithm. msmaisymade.com/index.html#

So what was the point? Kinsley didn't tweet much, and in fact the only tweet from "her" account that wasn't a RT was this, which, lol.
Some shorts say "she" maybe tried to get personal information from them. Considering Musk essentially doxxed one of the most high-profile anonymous Tesla short sellers last year, Montana Skeptic, I'd say they're rightfully sensitive to attempts like these.
Kinsley's LinkedIn account has already changed from listing Bloomberg, Boing Boing, TED, and Microsoft to just "Senior Journalist" who specializes in "unbiased freelancing and storytellers" ???
"She" has 195 connections, but I'd bet they're all from "her" spamming for them. One person endorsed "her" for a few skills, but he tells me he didn't know anything about Kinsley, and he just endorsed "her" because light favor-trading like that on LinkedIn can boost your stock
He also says "she" connected with him on March 12th, which is right around when Kinsley's website and Twitter account were created. He was getting phone calls while I was messaging with him, too:
Anyway, just another day in Tesla world.
And, uh, Kinsley did not respond to multiple requests for comment 😂
