do u know anyone who works for Tesla? i do, they love it.
I meant the African miners. I don't know anyone who works for Telsa, a lot of my coworkers drive them and they love them. It's Ohio so they're driving coal cars and I'm not sure if that is better than gas or not in the end.
First time having coworkers show up late to work because they forgot to plug their car in. I've never had that problem myself. I'm going to drive my paid off Volkswagen until the wheels fall off because each mile in its lifetime is getting cheaper as I drive it.

Brilliant!
Your right, when Musk bought Tesla it was already producing thousands upon thousands of model X Y and 3 vehicles, it isn't like it was just some little shell of a company that had failed to do anything meaningful until he came along. he just picked up, and it was already mass producing advanced EV vehicles, so Musk did basically nothing.
Also Musk's wealthy father loaned Elon Musk around $28,000 to him and his brother when they started their first internet company, which they eventually sold for a substantial amount of money, then Musk got involved with PayPal with no funding from his father, and then purchased Tesla, again with no funding from his father, so what can we conclude factually from all of this?
We can conclude that Musk's multi-billion dollar fortune was all given to him by his father. You see woke facts are the best facts because they can be whatever I want them to be!! :banana:
Good idea, let's just tell people Elon Musk hasn't accomplished anything, allow me to revise my list in a way that is TOTALLY believable
Elon Musk has NOT:
1. Pushed the entire auto industry into taking electric cars seriously (because Ford and GM did that of course)
2. Become the leading EV producer in the entire world (because GM and Ford are of course! As our great President Biden has said - GM and Ford are really leading in the EV space and we know uncle Joe would never lie to us)
3. Become one of the leading battery developers in the entire world (again GM and Ford are the leaders in battery technology because - unions!)
4. Create a space rocket company, that allowed the United States to not have to depend on other countries to carry our astronauts into space (This was actually GM and Ford!)
If we're being fanboys I'm more impressed with Bezos. Tesla makes neat cars but Bezos is the Henry Ford of our generation, and his model of business is as revolutionary as the assembly line was.
