Doesn't Elon Musk encouraging other people to use Tesla's battery IP help drive the electric vehicle market to maturity faster, creating more opportunity for Tesla to succeed?
The market is still the market. Not sure we should look this gift horse in the mouth. George R. Price figured out altruism can be reduced a math equation decades ago, it doesn't mean we can't embrace the good that comes out of decisions like this. :)
- vickychijwani 11y agoSorry if my comment came across as needlessly pessimistic. I was super-excited when Elon Musk made the Tesla "open-source" announcement, as I was yesterday when I read this. That comment was just me trying to apply my meager knowledge of startup economics here :)
