Sometimes I wonder what possesses a person to always point to single, extremely rare examples as analogies, like this. Tesla is not Amazon. Hocking goods online is not selling cars. Does Amazon really make much money off of anything but AWS?

- rezonant 3y agoI read it as tribalism. Internet commentator with investments in Amazon (either via stock or just by choosing to use their products) decides to spend their time unquestioningly promoting a trillion dollar company for free. It's a tale as old as time, unfortunately HN is far from immune to it. I dislike Amazon and Tesla pretty equally, but then Bezos didn't royally screw up Twitter, so there's that.
