> just like Musk’s other scam, TSLA Just so we're clear: You think that the only company selling EVs in the USA for a net profit is a scam? What do you call Rivian, Lucid, Fisker, Bolinger, Lordstown, Slate, and Aptera? Slate has been conspicuously silent about orders since the day after launch. Lucid is on the brink of bankruptcy. Fisker has gone bankrupt... twice. Lordstown no longer exists (with assets purchased for pennies on the dollar by their former CEO). Aptera has reorganized more times than I can count, and has been planning to release their product any day now for over 10 years! Rivian actually lost a lawsuit this year for misleading investors about the potential profitability of their product leading up to IPO. An IPO which raised more money in one fell swoop than all the external funding Tesla had in their entire existence. By your own metric, is Rivian not a bigger scam than Tesla? By the way, a bad fact for Rivian in that case was that they sexually harassed a female exec, who turned around and revealed (in her own lawsuit against them, just weeks before IPO) that the expected ASP of the R1 would be less than the production cost. Oops. And, somehow, Tesla is the problem. Yea, that makes sense. | |||||||||||||||||

A CEO making knowingly false forward looking statements is fraud, and it’s illegal. | |||||||||||||||||
