I’m interested in WHY.
I see the TESLA cars on the road every day. Still being build, and sold.
I see rockets fired into space, like YESTERDAY. And more testing and innovation.
I see holes actually being bored in the ground.
I see flamethrowers have been sold and delivered.
Is he right on everything? Hell no, but is he trying to do something more than a stupid hedge fund, YES.
I give the guy credit, he fails, but it doesn’t keep him down. That our government gives him money because he is doing stuff, making big changes, trying, I can’t fault the guy.
Give me any other name, ANY, just one, who you think is doing as much as Elon Musk to advance multiple courses of science that takes zero federal or tax dollars. I’ll wait.

“I’m interested in WHY.”
If you are truly interested I’ll tell you.
Tesla, as a company, hasn’t ever made a dollar profit on an annual basis since it started. Musk has over promised and under delivered over and over and over again.
I know people who own Teslas. One guy had his car in need of “repair” (all software issues) 3 times. The first 2 times they trailered it to another state (pulled by an F350). The 3rd time they flew a tech guy out from CA to PA. What kind of money they lost on that I’ll never know.
Don’t get into an accident if you buy one. Replacement body parts can take months. It’s all on the owners forums, too.
Don’t get me started on the battery...or the stock.
Enough?
