- Mirioron 8y agoI do find it sketchy that Musk has been able to get so much government funding for many of his projects. Some of them do seem infeasible or at least much more expensive than is publicly claimed. On the other hand, there's a clear concentrated effort by some media outlets to attack him at this time, so it's hard to tell whether they're bringing up legitimate criticism or whether they're leaving something out. >Moreover, under German corporation law, any stock-issuing business with more than 2,000 employees must reserve half the seats on its board of directors for worker-elected representatives. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the economic growth of Germany over the last 2-3 decades has been fairly slow compared to many other European countries? More relation usually means less business means less economic growth. Also, what's up with this anti-capitalism sentiment that seems to be going around nowadays? I've seen it in the media and many online discussions.
- speeq 8y agoThese articles always bring the same weak arguments of subsidies and incentives for Tesla (and the $465 million federal loan that Tesla paid back with interest btw) while completely ignoring the fact that subsidies for the fossil fuel industry and the "big three" automakers are billions per year. https://electrek.co/2016/11/25/tesla-subsidies-big-three-oil-industry/ https://electrek.co/2016/11/25/tesla-subsidies-big-three-oil...
