Wall Street and their car industry friends want to kill Tesla. They use every opportunity. They probably pay "PR" firms to do anti-Tesla propaganda, judging from the shill YouTube comments I've seen.
None of it matters if Tesla produces products that people love. So far they're doing a great job of that. If they keep up the "pace of innovation" they will succeed, and if they don't, they will fail.
None of this drama will matter in the end. As a Musk fan since before he was cool, this just makes me like him that much more.
- bllguo 8y agoYou've clearly wrapped up way too much of your identity in Musk. If you actually care about his enterprises you should care about their financial sustainability. Want to kill Tesla? Do you understand who he was talking to? These people are Tesla investors. Well, maybe that should be "were" now.
- staunch 8y agoYour ad hominem attack is against the guidelines of Hacker News. I simply believe that founders, products, and teams determine success and that investor happiness is a lagging indicator. This is clearly what Elon Musk believes too. Wall Street investors are like sheep. You can curse at them all you want. They can bleat all they want. They'll still come running when the food is ready. Believing investors could be loyal to Elon Musk based on his personal behavior is a good way to kill Tesla. They only value the profits that he can generate for them, and he knows it.
