So yeah, it seems pretty shallow IMHO. (Not you but the analysis)
Your people who own them, okay, don’t buy one. You want a profit? Okay, don’t buy his stock. TESLA is publicly traded, so not an issue if you don’t want to participate it sound a lot like you are hunting for reasons to not like him or his companies.
Full disclosure, I think electric cars are a stupid idea, the batteries are toxic garbage that have no life span.
I don’t own and won’t own TESLA stock. I work in the power/electric/grid industry and think windmills and electric cars are junk messing up the system.
I think the power wall is garbage as well as they will end up burning people’s homes down.
But for the most part the guy is trying to innovate. Unlike 99% of the wealthy in the world who sit on their ass and do nothing. Bill Gates went and did ONE thing Microsoft, then purchased everything with the windfall.
That idiot Mark Cuban has a big mouth, but only invests in other people’s ideas because he doesn’t have an original thought in his head. Jeff Bezos is the same, kinda wants to be innovative, but really just hit an idea, but someone is going to knock him off soon too. Same for Branson, wants to be something in aerospace and a follower like a bunch of others. They are not on the front line trying to do something. I admire that in MUSK, even if they are wrong.
So yeah, I’d say you have low opinions of others, and my second question still stands.
If you don’t like Elon Musk, who is it out there doing the hard work with their billions and trying to make a change? I’d like a name or two. Really serious, not harsh or dismissive, just want to know who I should be following that I may have missed.
So you’re looking for a hero?
The real ones are the folks you never hear about. From the team of folks who made cell phones a reality to the dude that came up with the idea for Velcro. Or Viagra.
I don’t hate Musk. I just realize he’s a modern day P.T. Barnum..
