This guy only fault is having real wealth as opposed to make believe wealth based on margin loans and fraud.

So naturally the press of the regime feels the need to attack him to please the great leader and propel his propaganda and a rivalry that solely exists in his head

Not to mention how every claim made by Misk is already accounted as in the bag as soon as one unit is produced.

Reality is that Gates is right, and he is just following the predictions by Vaclav Smil. By 2050 gas cars would make up no less than 75% of global cars. Similarly diesel semis will be 99.999%

Every action one takes that isn't in alignment with the truth acts as a debt against the truth. Eventually that debt has to be paid. As the debt grows, one finds themselves increasingly in hell.

Whose wealth is based on fraud? Are the Tesla Q crazies back? I thought they all went bankrupt.

Market cap of every company moves in lockstep with the amount of quality of life that said company signs off for the American consumer.

All of them except Tesla which is a techno-utopian religion in which people can buy a stake in , therby giving hundreds of billions of dollars to the cult leader in advance for promises which will never be delivered.

Just like the church selling a spot in heaven to finance St. Peters Dome.

If you disappeared Tesla inc. overnight the number of people crying histerically because they think the world will come to a technological standstill would vastly surpass the number of people complaining that nobody will be able to service their car

Sorry I’m not following. Tesla generates over $20 billion in revenue and $3 billion in profit per quarter. They have a dominant market share in an industry expected to grow tenfold.

> Expected to grow tenfold

Expected by people who believe that worrying about people who’d inhabit the planet 150 years from now is a sentiment that will hold.

Those are worries who emerge from the brain of those who inhabit 50m penthouses in Manhattan and 70m mansions in the Hollywood Hills.

Tesla is a sociopolitical company and Elton Musk-rat is a social phenomenon, kinda like Greta Thumberg and unlike Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Berkshire,JPMorgan etc.

The moment climate hysteria stops, there goes Tesla. The companies I mentioned above Americans will always be in need of them and goods/services they provide

By the way, where is Greta? Ever since the War broke out Europeans don't want to hear from her anymore because the rise in energy price and lower quality of life associated with them caused people to don't even pretend to care about climate change when asked. Meaning they have stopped virtue signaling while taking surveys.

You calling Tesla shareholders cultists is the pot calling kettle black.

That or you are just some bot running for a hedge fund that is trapped in a bad bet against Tesla...

Au contraire.

I am a consumer who can clearly identify what’s a real improvement and what’s make believe political BS.

The quality of life of the American consumer is marked by revolutions.

there is a before and after Standard Oil, quality of life will never be the same as it was before.

before and after Ford

before and Microsoft

before and after Google

before and after Facebook

before and after Amazon

A car today is essentially the same as it was in 2002, the quality of life that Tesla brought to the table is essentially non existent .

If anything a 2002 dieael Benz or BMW was better refined and more durable

The only signal that Tesla brought to the attention is the pussyfication of Western society and climate change hysteria among the elites who are reasoning with timeframes which are completely at odds with regular people , who frankly speaking could care less about the temperature 120 years from now
