    If you’re gonna complain about the other models being good you should know he had nothing to do with any of them, other than buying the company and demanding workers sleep on the factory floor to meet fulfilment. Every company he is the face of was someone else’s ideas and effort, all the way back to the 90s. He supplies capital and in return people who don’t understand the subject matter assume he knows what he’s talking about because he gets quoted a lot.

      Oh you’re right. No CEO does any of their products. I see what you mean now.

      He knows how to run a company that produces EVs, but he does not, in fact, produce EVs

        He knows how to pump the stock. He has no idea how to run a company either. His skill to date is being clued up at a conceptual level on tech at a young age and being in the right place at the right time, having some charisma and knowing how to appear smaet. In terms of skill set he’s way closer to trump than an actual engineer or CEO.
