Troubleshooter Posted 18June, 2018 Report Share Posted 18June, 2018 Another nail in the rapidly building coffin .. just read an article where Musk proudly declares himself a socialist Tesla CEO and PayPal billionaire Elon Musk surprised many Friday when he declared on Twitter that he is a socialist. Conservative critics, however, may well have agreed, given his companies’ reliance on the state. - yes well that would be entirely true as he relies on taking the public's money via snakeoil salesmanship and govts handouts to continue and prop up his companies and lifestyle tazzieman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redracn Posted 25June, 2018 Report Share Posted 25June, 2018 In a fair world the CO2 emmision and equivalent MPG would be put on the windscreen label for the state it is sold in. But not sure it would work given the level of denial of electric car buyers. The only use of an EV is to displace CO2 production to another out of site location. It is only a matter of time before Musk takes a dive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 25June, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 25June, 2018 2 hours ago, Redracn said: It is only a matter of time before Musk takes a dive. He survived a recent spill motion. From Fin Review "Musk's exceptional ability to raise capital and convince investors to buy into his long-term vision is why Steve Blank - a retired Silicon Valley entrepreneur who teaches business at Stanford - thought it was unlikely Musk would be removed from his position on Tesla's board. Like Steve Jobs before him, Blank said, Musk excels as a visionary and innovator but struggles to implement that vision. Jobs eventually mastered both innovation and execution, and Blank thinks Musk will, too, so long as he continues to move past the creative phase of his career."This is no longer an innovation problem, this is an execution at scale problem - unless Tesla wants to be a niche innovator chasing profitability and sucking up cash," Blank said. "They need to become experts at execution at scale, but that's hard for people who in their DNA want to continually innovate." "It gets boring to execute," he added. "I am a huge Elon fan. What people miss is that this is an authentic American hero and most of these heroes have in them the seeds of their own destruction.""

Zelrik911 Posted 28June, 2018 Report Share Posted 28June, 2018 Amazing work by Tesla team. Built entire new general assembly line in 3 weeks w minimal resources ( Desperation!!!!! ) Musk stated on June 16 that a new production line had been constructed inside the tent using spare parts from the company’s main production line. Tesla’s new tent is reportedly surrounded by large trucks to obstruct the view of the makeshift production facility following intense interest from the public. Jeff Liker, a University of Michigan engineering professor who has published a book on Toyota’s production system stated: “The question is, how much rope Musk will get from customers who have had to wait years for delivery?” Max Warburton commented on the tent saying: “The existing line isn’t functional, it can’t build cars as planned and there isn’t room to get people into workstations to replace the non-functioning robots. So here we have it—build cars manually in the parking lot.” Redracn and Troubleshooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 17August, 2018 Report Share Posted 17August, 2018 Elon Barnum Musk is up to his tricks again. Saw this developing with first report a week back when he said he was taking Tesla private and the sell was "securely Funded" raising the capital of the company, and therein lies the problem/crime. He hates anyone talking down Tesla and by stating that to the world he's attempted to and succeeded in raising the share price falsely and stiffing all the short sellers. Tsk tsk tsk it's a no no when he was lying about "funds are secured". The Tesla board knew nothing about the announcement.... now he's doing the usual snake oil diversion and claiming another fantabulous scheme of tunnelling - this time across LA... and by his so called Boring Company that hasn't actually done any extensive boring and is best known for selling flame throwers. I kid you not. Two lawsuits launched by short sellers and he's being investigated by the SEC...Go back to supplying submarines, oh that didn't work either, just a big case of propaganda and virtue signalling that one.... Tesla is on a one way street going the wrong way.. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/11/a-look-back-at-elon-musks-very-bad-week-lawsuits-sec-unsecured-funding/ https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/16/sec-elon-musk-probe-short-sellers/ https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/08/16/elon-musk-avoids-tesla-woes-with-l-a-traffic-scheme/ Redracn and Raven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoey Posted 17August, 2018 Report Share Posted 17August, 2018 Comparing Elon Musk to Alan Bond... You must have exceptionally long arms when drawing your bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redracn Posted 17August, 2018 Report Share Posted 17August, 2018 Ralph Sarich would be a contender. Exceptional ability to attract govement money and ultimately achieve nothing but a short lived overly complex air blast assisted fuel injector which was quickly made redundant by the direct injection we have today. Elon just ramps the scale of the con up by a few orders of magnitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubleshooter Posted 17August, 2018 Report Share Posted 17August, 2018 Elon is a bit of a troubled soul atm, he's been quite erratic over the past few months and slowly melting down for the moment as the reality has bitten deep that Tesla is a failed project. I admire the guys that dream big, risk their own readys, entice investment and pull it off and add to our lives. Unfortunately he's going down as a waster of others funds as so many do and he'll come out the other side with his fortune intact in Majorca or some safe haven but with a trail of government funds laid to waste in his wake....he wont be the last... Ok, now he's playing the victim card and the drug use of Ambien is mentioned, that is really evil stuff!....His actions are the Karpman triangle in an obscure way, first rescuer, then persecutor and now victim..... https://www.canberratimes.com.au/business/companies/the-worst-is-yet-to-come-elon-musk-confronts-his-fateful-tweet-20180817-p4zy5c.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
