Jesus, no one is asking you to S.elon's.C, but your assertion was that Musk was not responsible for the explosion of electric cars (heh), whereas he really was.

> Do you worship John Harvey Kellogg when eating the corn flakes
I don't live in a breakfast-cereal eating culture, so I have no clue about which cereal is better, but there is no denying that Kellogg invented the cornflakes market, just like Musk did with the eCar.
-Are there better cereals/eCars? Duh.
-Were both Kellogg and Musk absolute weirdos? Yes.
-Should their products be the default choice in their sector? No, competition spurs growth.
-Does that change the fact that they created their markets? NO. They did, and they deserve acknowledgment for that.

By all means, buy a competitor product, i don't give a damn, we don't even have regular electricity flow in my country, EV of any kind are a far dream.
But being anti-Musk does not a personality make, and frankly it's getting cringy at this point.
It just pollutes the comment stream and makes everyone's experience worse.
