I wonder if Elon Musk will receive death threats one day, or if oil companies will try to mess with anything that deal with Tesla.
For example, I wonder, is it possible for an entity to "take over" the lithium mining industry that is outside the US?
- dmix 11y agoAll car companies are working on this stuff, not just Elon, and with excellent political backing. So this is silly. Exxon and the like are doing just fine, it will be a long time until 95% of the world will be able to afford stuff like this. And that's not including the thousands of other uses for oil and natural gas. Plus Exxon has lost a lot of political power in the post-Bush era and no-one is buying their pseudo-science reports anymore.

- patkai 11y agoI think a typical oil company/country does not keep Tesla high on the agenda. They probably worry about Russia, policy changes of USA, wars around them and global economic stability. Tesla started - or contributed a lot to - a revolution that they should worry about in the long run, but they have a different perspective than a Tesla enthusiasts like myself.
