The Musk haters will never like him so he might as well feed the trolls.
Today there is a launch for a VW EV. It is very nice but way off what the equivalent Tesla is. But none of the Tesla/Musk haters with their old fashioned cars can admit that the Tesla product is awesome. It is very interesting to see how people twist their views to be absurd. For this reason I am glad Musk triggers them with nonsense like this.
- anthony_r 6y agoWell people that buy cars actually like the VW's more, look up sales/registration data in Europe.
- detaro 6y agoDoesn't mean everyone has to report every joke or opinion a tech CEO makes (it's not just Musk). I don't mind him doing it if he thinks its funny, I mind people acting as if it's notable (which is why I choose the comparison to celebrity news: I'm also not objecting to these people having lives and doing stuff, but to the reporting and framing and it getting spread everywhere)
- allendoerfer 6y agoI think you would classify me as one of those haters. I don't actually hate Tesla, I just think the valuation is a bubble and stuff like this reinforces my opinion. When it comes to investments, I want substance: Don't call it autopilot if it is not an autopilot. Don't invest in stuff without inherent value. If you sell way less, then you should probably worth way less. I am just a very boring person in that way. Outside of the stock valuation (and maybe the environmental damage, Bitcoin causes), I find all of it very entertaining.
