You mean to say that Elon Musk is kind of a prick and not electric-Jesus? I am SHOCKED!

I’m also enjoying the idea of a British chassis stuffed with an engine from an american company called...AC

He isn’t the founder of Tesla for sure, that’s what I wanted to point out.
I am not sure how big of a prick he is though. But I am sure he has tried to trademark “Electric Jesus” for himself lol

Billionaires can afford real hair transplants, either from their own body or from a genetic match who was properly compensated/harvested from the streets.

Sounds like the board (not just Elon himself) forced the founders out due to those aforementioned cash flow issues. Sounds like the founders may have been geniuses, but terrible at operating a car company. Thus, the board secretly shoved them out.
That said, this story is part of what makes me think of Tesla as a sort of car-Apple.

Careful. That’s John Hennessey’s formula for the Venom, too.

One of my cousins had hair plugs done from his back hair. It ended up turning red and then all falling out.

So how long before Elon and his lawyer brigade disappear the makers of this video?

Or, Elon invested his own money, became chairman, and realized Eberhard had no idea how to run a car company and was pissing away Elon’s cash. The car was over budget and past schedule. The board met secretly (never a good thing) and shitcanned Eberhard.

I honestly didn’t.
I thought he bought Tesla in its infancy, for some reason.
I also had the impression that he was the key guy that made shit happen at Tesla from the get go. Turns out, neither of this is true.
Then I figured there must be other people like me who didn’t realize it....

True....that would make sense.
That is far less sinister that what this video portrayed lol

Hey now, a nuanced response isn’t welcome around these parts!
It’s pretty obvious that while the founders may have been geniuses, they were also good at bleeding money and time.

Yeah, but presenting himself as the founder is Ray Kroc-level disingenuous.
OK, savior, yes. One who built it into what it is today, absolutely. But “founder” has a specific definition that he doesn’t fit.
