Musk is a charlatan. The cars are garbage. His businesses will never see a dime from me outside of my tax dollars that have been used to prop up SpaceX and build Tesla’s market share.

The “brilliance” of Musk is bilking people out of huge amounts of money and getting the very same people to celebrate Tesla’s margins.

The Cybertruck is a unibody joke of a pickup truck.

The arguments remind me of dyno racing.

That look would be good for me, offers a 3 seat option easily too. but we need the aero improvements.

I think you get one or two free reads of Times articles a month. Sorry if it's behind a paywall for you.

Seems like Dyer basically doesn't like Musk and thinks Musk's behavior and personality will eventually sink the ship. He confesses to initially being a big fan of Musk and Tesla. He talks about the Mafia-like work atmosphere at Tesla (as if everyone's afraid there will be recriminations from Musk if they say the wrong thing).

Did the author consider Tesla not having to depend on SunRun for their chargers?

Visionaries often are the ones not afraid to ask the consensus “dumb questions” that a typical “brilliant design engineer” would never think to or be brave enough to.

This article is just a hit piece about someone triggered that Elon doesn’t comply with the consensus political or societal thoughts or using your words is that he is “tone deaf”.

As someone who never owned a Tesla or Tesla stock (other than potentially inside of index funds) I had nothing against Tesla before 2020 when Elon became a bit more polarizing and well since I respect his rebelliousness and willingness to challenge the societal narrative of the day, I have grown to appreciate him more.

However, unlike this articles author, I know damn well that anyone’s political or societal slant has very little to do with whether Ford or Tesla is making better EVs.

The stock market would tell you pretty starkly what the likely answer is though.

Great comment. Thanks.
