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.
