Again, you could just as easily argue that if investors believe the technology is dangerous, it's therefore not ready for prime time and will not see widespread industry adoption, therefore less promising for investment. Also this line of reasoning could easily lead to nationalization, which could certainly harm investors, to say the least.

This "stunt" story is like an elaborate Rube Goldberg machine which requires a bunch of things to go just right. I haven't seen any evidence that stock prices even move in a favorable direction when these announcements come out. If anything, the opposite.
