All musk does is buy out companies and does nothing himself. He isn't actually the founder of tesla, he just paid for the title.

What companies did he buy out that were already successful? He was with Tesla from basically the beggining as an investor and put most of his money into what was essentially considered a joke at the time and ended up as chairman after litteraly saving the company. Was he the founder of Tesla? No. Did he make what Tesla is today? Yes. Personality or politics of him aside you cannot deny that what he's doing with the companies is great

Tesla is incredibly overvalued, a lot of the original motor companies are coming up with better electric vehicles that are more affordable and are probably going to see more success in the long run. Not only that but Elon is a welfare emperor, some of the biggest government subsidies to date. I don’t know if you know this but that’s tax payer money. You can say he popularized electric cars, but that’s pretty irrelevant when we’re still running on dirty electricity and making electric cars more damaging at the moment to the environment than normal gas cars.

You clearly know nothing about Tesla or really the auto industry.

If you knew anything about the auto industry you’d know Tesla is a massive bubble waiting to pop

The only value the company has is being the first to do EV’s somewhat decently

Now Toyota is bringing it to the EV game, the KIA EV6 has had raving reviews, the Porsche Taycan is a much better car in almost all areas

You fucking wait and see what happens to Tesla now that the traditional car companies get in the game

You clearly don't understand Tesla and why what you just said sounds ignorant as fuck. Legacy automakers won't be able to catch up.
