> Tesla does ship cars, you not seeing them in the street Are you a car person? They are as rare as Land Rovers or Lotus or Alfa Romeos or Fiats. What's the marketcap of those companies? It's in the millions because those companies don't have a master manipulator cult figure at the helm > It has no impact on the current starlink customers getting Internet access in remote areas Where are they? You cannot pinpoint anybody who owns this thing, let's be serious now. It's always the same, it's the promise of StarLink, the idea of StarLink...number of customers? In the thoudands. > It does not change the fact that PayPal is worth $240B today. Musk is not involved (directly or indirectly) in running PayPal ever since 2000. HN can't have it both ways, if the idea is rubbish and it's all about execution then Lord Musk is not special and his initial idea of X.com/PayPal world domination is also rubbish and Ebay deserves all the credit for the execution. > Tesla isn't a scam, you can drive the car without owning their stock, the model 3 is even affordable Enron too, sold products and services...that doesn't mean it wasn't a financial scam engineered by the CEO to enrich himself.

> Are you a car person? They are as rare as Land Rovers or Lotus or Alfa Romeos or Fiats. What's the marketcap of those companies? I have never seen any of these (are these cars? what are these?!). Stagecoaches we see in western movies? Other than producers of western movies, who would buy stagecoaches? Marketcap of stagecoaches can't be that great! Millions seems like a lot. > It's always the same, it's the promise of StarLink, the idea of StarLink...number of customers? In the thoudands. On HN, we see articles on starlink from early adopters. Not sure what your point is. Everything starts directly with a billion users? This is how all companies have operated in the past? > Enron too, sold products and services...that doesn't mean it wasn't a financial scam engineered by the CEO to enrich himself. You have proof this is a scam? Short it! Publish your research and convince other people to short it with you.
