Good.
Say what you will about faceless corps, but toyota won't send some jackass out a the public face to do sieg hail, and be the gleeful butcher of government programs.
You have to be nestel levels of horrific before it breaks out of the corporate bubble.
I seriously question the mental stability of Tesla shareholders. Why on Earth does that man still have a job?
I'm not even talking about this recent stuff, I'm talking about all the things he's been doing for the last few years. It would get any normal person fired.
He has family members and toadies on the board
Yeah I’ve always seen it as an unfortunate inevitability that interacting with society means helping faceless corps and some very shitty executives and shareholders. That’s capitalism for ya. But the worse a company or individual gets, the more the moral imperative falls on consumers.
What’s crazy is the speculative bubble that still exists around Tesla. Since you mentioned Toyota, if that company had the same insane price/earnings ratio as Tesla, it would be worth significantly more than Apple.
And even Apple, with its pretty high tech industry P/E, would be worth damn near 15 trillion if its ratio matched Tesla.
