Tesla fan here, but I'm with you on this. "Mitt Romney famously called Tesla Motors a “loser” company" - what is the measure of "famous" here? Because I had no idea he said that. And I bet if I ask 100 other Tesla fans about what Romney said about Tesla, they wouldn't know, either. Let alone laypersons. This is kinda... paint-the-target-around-the-arrows journalism to me.
- protomyth 13y agoHere is a link to the actual video from which the quote is derived: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGwTh-xXoQc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGwTh-xXoQc Note the "I had a friend" and what the other companies mentioned are. The "quote" is like most political quotes, not a literal[1] quote. 1) used in the true definition and not ironically, which probably has a relation to talking about political quotes [edit: to go even further, it sounds like he was referring to loss of money as losers. Someone might check if Tesla was profitable at the time]
