> making sure to spread the good news of Tesla and metaphorically stoning anyone who dares speak against Elon Musk.
That's an interesting take. Even if true today, does not reflect the historical reality at all; in fact I remember quite the opposite: for the majority of the history of the company I remember hearing that he is a clown, Tesla will go bankrupt, the product won't work, false stories on the product by major newspapers, the product won't make money, the factory won't scale.
- new_realist 6y agoElon is a clown; sued for libel and by the SEC; Elon has admitted the company was weeks away from bankruptcy during Model 3 development; my Tesla was a lemon, Tesla makes almost all of its profits from regulatory credits; 500K production was only achieved by creating a second factory (not part of the original 500K projection); the Gigafactory is only 30% done and Tesla has abandoned it in favor of expansion with third party battery manufacturers. So, in all, pretty accurate.
- mehrdada 6y agoPoint is there is (or at least was as of 1.5 years ago) way more negative coverage of Tesla than positive, accuracy aside, which contradicts GP's take. There's been enough outlets to show the bad side and it was the most shorted stock which proves the point.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoAt what point do you believe your statements are delusional if not when Musk has become to wealthiest person in the world, Tesla one of the most valuable companies by market cap, and the world bends over backwards to get their factories in their backyard or get their cars in their garages? Elon will set foot on Mars and you’ll still have the delusional yelling Tesla is a farce I suppose.
