Why is everyone bashing Tesla and Elon Musk here?
He’s everything we want- self-made millionaire and capitalist.
(Yes I know where he got some of his money- but his competitors could have done that too, and didn’t)
He has accomplished a lot, but has a lot of problems:
1. Mental stability
2. Toking dope on tv
3. Fast and loose in public with secret financial data —> illegally pumping the market.
4. Failure to deliver on his gigafactory promises to New York State
5. Building an enterprise that depends almost 100% on federal tax subsidies, i.e., OUR MONEY.
6. Failing to build a spare parts inventory and repair network that can get broken vehicles fixed quickly.
