I'm afraid it's a case of "Show me the money", meaning, "Have you achieved what you say you can and have before you move on to the next grand vision of the future?"

For him to say that 'stage one' is complete is laughable. We haven't seen Model 3s on sale for $35,000 yet, we haven't seen whether Tesla can get the required production (which they simply can't) and they haven't achieved profit on any car at all yet.

I am also afraid this is a case of "Show me the money". He built 3 multi-billion dollar companies 2 are profitable. That's speaks volumes about his ability to make business decisions now unless you have comparable experience calling his business abilities "laughable" is in itself laughable. Might Tesla fail sure it might, but to use such a condescending tone to comment unless you have a comparable track record is very bad form.

Anyone can be critical now being condescending is a totally different thing. How exactly can I censor anything?
