Not following why it’s women run has any real bearing. Let’s judge people by their accomplishments not their sex and race.

Do you think women have had equal opportunities leading to this moment?

I don't read it as saying run by *women*, I think it's just saying "run by women" in the same mode as "run by guys from".

Actually I meant it in a good way. To my knowledge there has never been a car company anywhere that was started by a female team.

Just checked with ChatGPT and it confirmed while there have been women involved with EV and battery startups there hasn't ever been an all female founder led car company. Now that Mary Barra became the CEO of GM it was wildly heralded that there was no longer a glass ceiling in the auto world. But I'd posit actually starting a company, raising money from investors like Jeff Bezos is taking it to another level.

The good news is that I don't think its the last new car company that will get started. I personally know of a guy in Ohio who wants to manufacture a car he built using a diesel engine that gets over 100 mpg and can beat both a Dodge Viper and a Tesla Model 3 to 60 mph.
