watching what he's done at Tesla

talking to the people who worked there

and talking to Elon Musk himself.


he didn't leave the titans of the industry anywhere.

he's building cars in a parking lot in California.

he has a new plant in Texas where he's sucking up to politicians who won't let him sell his cars in the state.

he's very good at selling tax credits, and hyping himself up.

he's very good at throwing engineers at a problem, working them until failure, and then replacing them with others, all incentivized by stock options.

he's very good at turning abject failure into people paying him to go away (he's done this more than once)

I know who Elon Musk is, and I don't say these things about him out of ignorance or even any kind of personal feelings. These are just the things that happened.
