> The problem with Tesla at it's core is Musk. He is nothing more than a spoiled brat who exploited the gullible edgelord-praising kids and young-ish adults. It's hard to take this comment seriously as I watch rockets fly into space on a routine basis, taking humans to the ISS, deploying thousands of satellites which transmit low-latency internet signals across the globe, and watching Tesla go from a doomed-to-fail novelty to having the #1 selling car in the world. Even his oft-lampooned pet project Cybertruck has been a massive success. You don't have to like the person or even refrain from ridiculing him, but to say he's Tesla's core problem is absurd.

Rockets fly cause he is simply a marketing campaign and someone who is able to grab billions away from the US government despite the fact that he is actively fighting against the democratic and civilized world and is happy to keep kissing every dictator's ass in exchange for cheap(and crap) manufacturing. So yes, you can add hypocrisy to the endless list of bad things about him. To rephrase Archimedes' famous quote: "Give me enough money for a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world"
