Sativa_Rose 12/09/18 7:42:49 PM #9:	The fact that there are so many left-wing people who hate Elon Musk really reveals to me how so many people who claim to care about climate change and environmentalism are actually only care as a cultural signifier. It's something to virtue signal to others that they are trendy and progressive. Elon Musk has done more to progress humanity in the fight against climate change than almost any other person on the planet (in fact he might be literally at the top of the list).

You do need Musk for that cause he was the only one willing to lead Tesla through 3 rounds of investments lol. Musk wasn't the only venture capitalist that Eberhard and whatshisface went to, but he was the first and only one for years willing to give them millions of dollars in capital so they'd remain in business.

Like, okay, they made batteries. Fantastic. A car is more than just a battery pack and an electric motor. And for that matter, aren't they operating in the red? You can make whatever you want, but if you can't sell it to people, who gives a damn how good it was. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks <cite>Crazyman93 posted [p:913922553] in Let's chec...
