Fair point. I wonder what the reason for the lack of output is. They’ve yet to make an orbital launch vehicle, and can only land from a straight up launch… that feels like an easier problem to solve.
Meanwhile SpaceX are onto their 3rd/4th generation of launch vehicle and are doing more launches than everyone else combined.
Tesla when Elon “took over” made the roadster (a drive train for a lotus Elise), no real brand and no real identity. The founder-in-name is a pretty shitty dig. He has been directly involved in the Model S/X/3/Y
Wozniak built the Apple II. Is Jobs less of a founder?
- cma 5y agoIMO Musk is more like if Ronald Wayne had joined late and started being called founder through a lawuit settlement over something bad he had done, then took over and bailed out his cousin's company he had a financial interest in using a fraudulent merger. Maybe with the energy/grid connection more of a Kenneth Lay.
- onethought 5y agoFraudulent merger that was voted for by 85% of shareholders? That has done nothing but increase Shareholder value. Yep, absolute criminals!
- cma 5y agoFraud can increase shareholder value when a company is in speculative stages. Cheaper than a normal roof!
- onethought 5y agoSo what was the fraud?
- cma 5y agoOne part was the fake shingle demo.
- onethought 5y agoI'm confused which one you mean, shingle is not a term used in my locale. The roof tiles? Are the roof tiles fake?
- cma 5y agoYeah the demoed roof tiles pushing through the SolarCity acquisition were fake mockups. Later they never got them to work near the price point that pushed the deal through and now have a redesign making them close to the size of small panels.
- onethought 5y agoAnd it’s certain it was fraud and not r&d not able to achieve the results they initially thought they could?
- cma 5y agoSimilar to a kickstarter for a useful hoverboard.
