“Sure enough. This brings out the Musk haters repeating the same thing they say on every Musk thread.”

This is the Musk derangement syndrome by stone age conservatives - as dependable as the liberals’ Trump derangement syndrome. Amazing the level of irrational vitriol just mentioning his name brings out.

The luddite mentality of these “conservatives” undoubtedly explains why there are no high tech companies of any significance created or run by conservatives. And so we have to depend on the liberal Apples, Google, Microsofts, Facebooks, Twitters of the world for our technology.

If we had to rely on these Musk bashers for innovations we’d still be using rotary phones and the slide rule. I’m sorry to say that all the negative connotations of the word “conservative” really apply to these stuck-in-the-mud bashers.

And just as today they use the iphones and Google and laptops that they once derided, in ten years they’ll be driving electric cars. And, I bet anything, this same bunch would have treated Henry Ford’s first car with the same level of disdain.

I feel much better getting this off my chest. Now, flame away!

Give poor Elon four more billion of US taxpayers’ money.

Anyone who disagrees is a “hater.”

I don't hate him. He is not a visionary.

The only way there will be electric cars in ten years is if it is state enforced.

The Google, Ford and Apple empires were not nurtured by a scam, so the comparison misses the mark.

Global warming devotees believe the gov. should force fossil fuel vehicles off the road because of a scam. Are you one of them?

I am pretty sure Texas Instruments was not funded through years and years of unprofitability as until affordable calculators could replace the slide rule.

You don’t get to fight a flame war. You are slready intellectually dead and you drowned in the stupidity of your own inapplicable comparison.
