Great reply, thanks for explaining. That’s basically what I’ve gathered and I wasn’t paying close attention even during Tesla’s growth. I think it bewildering enough that your latter ‘optimistic’ take strangely wouldn’t surprise me. Because yeah, it just seems like a total 180 to being all about ‘climate-conscious’ capitalism, then to radical investments, then to free speech, then to kind of appearing to stand for none of the above.. so now he appears to be an asshole who also doesn’t give a shit about anyone else, mocking everyone who stood for any one of his virtue-signals to gain seemingly only more wealth and power.. it will never make sense to me.
