Everything we have heard on the subject suggests he has done meaningful engineering work on the rocket. This fact should not at all minimize the contributions of others, which are also very substantial. Nor should it take away from the acco

For a lot of popular press you can check out the confessed social media propoganda experiment @TeslaCharts for before-it-breaks-on-the-news coverage of whatever sourceless negative article you want. You can also use it to read deluded stock

Yeah, the shorty meme brigade with their 'short air force' patch meme campaign convincing the New York Times to run a ridiculous story about cars parked in a parking lot is also very interesting. We live in a post-IRA revelation w

A corollary of this is for-pay news cares more for its readers than free news. You ought to pay for your information, if you want to incentivize getting good information.

Yeah, the news doesn't really bother giving the full story with much subtlety. You can go look up what the guy actually said. There is a video of it. Basically, he figured that Elon Musk was trying to help just to look good with no sub

Many traditional automaker executives are playing catch-up with Tesla with regards to electrification of transport. They're moving second, copying Elon Musk. There is some truth to the idea that Tesla can benefit from the experience of

The idea that Tesla is drastically missing its production targets is overstated. It originally claimed that what was later named the Model 3 would begin production in 2017. This claim was made as far back as 2014. This occurred as projected

On a percentage basis of test scores, Tesla is in the top 1% of test scores and was rumored to be in contention for the very best test score with their newest model. The glowing review by the actual owner is justified by empirical data.
