I, for one, applaud Elon Musk's business savvy - He came in at the right time to purchase PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX, and those companies managed to insulate themselves from him with layers of middle management so his bad ideas didn't cause too many problems for them.
Elon didn't make Tesla, after all. He wasn't a founder of the company, and he isn't responsible for anything more than standing on stage, accepting applause and over-promising on ideas. Autopilot, CyberTruck and the new Roadster, for example. On Sun, 18 Dec 2022 at 13:35, Lee Hart via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > >> Yes, hate for Musk seems to dominate. Here and elsewhere.
