If that's really the reason, that's the most idiotic reason possible. So he "earned" a couple of Roadsters by spamming his referral code, and it turns out his free cars might be a decade late, and maybe not as awesome as promised?
Booo hooooo

If your employer said they'd pay you half a million if you worked for them, and then you did and they didn't pay you, I doubt you'd be dismissing it so frivolously
Okay but that’s not remotely analogous. Leveraging an existing monetised readership for referral credits isn’t “work”.

It's called fraud, the editor was a victim of fraud. At least he clued on late I guess..
Is it fraud if he paid $0 for non-existent roadsters? Referral credits are legal fictions, much like how Tesla Roadsters are physical fictions. Trading one fiction for another isn’t fraud, it’s cosplay.

There was no guarantee of Roadster delivery date.
