What barriers would those be? There are well-funded competitors in every domain he competes in. His products are just the most competitive. HN has totally jumped the shark on Musk.

Being allowed to circumvent SEC rules for one, which gives access to huge amounts of capital, which then feeds exclusive government contracts. HN is way more pro-Musk than the average human. He’s hated.

The enforcement of SEC rules over small issues (e.g., the 420 tweet) have not given him access to huge amounts of capital. He has access to huge amounts of capital because he has repeatedly produced giant profitable businesses that people want to invest in, including many very sophisticated investors in private offerings.

JUMPED. THE. SHARK.

Yes, that he’s not in prison like he should be for constantly and knowingly offering fraudulent projections has indeed granted him access to capital. Again, he would be in prison were the rules enforced.

I don’t know what you mean by “JUMPED. THE. SHARK.”. Maybe you’re accidentally replying on the wrong thread?
