Long before Elon Musk became "Chief Twit," Tesla investor Ron Baron once advised the billionaire to stop tweeting when annoyed or angry.
"You should not respond to any criticism in the news or on Twitter," Baron told Musk in an email from July 15, 2018 that was uncovered in a lawsuit against Tesla and Musk over his "funding secured" tweet.
"The more you react, the more likely they will win," the billionaire investor added. "If something really upsets you, go for a walk around the factory. Get an ice cream cone. Just don't use Twitter."
