Elon Musk

[Deesse23]

You vastly underestimate him. He certainly DOES know what the fuck he is doing. Do the research.

The odds stacked against him with Tesla and SpaceX were ridiculous. He took on the multi-$billion automotive industry with less than $100 million and forced a change in the industry. EVs are well past the tipping point now. Against the wishes of the legacy auto manufacturers and even the oil companies, combustion engine cars are dead. The writing is on the wall. The future is electric.

A quick reality check from someone who is working in the automotive industry.

First off all: it's no secret that Teslas are rather mediocre engineered vehicles. Musk just slapped a lot of stuff from his suppliers together and ads some AM functionality.

The global market for el. vehicles has only moderate increase and this increase is predominantly in china. In Germany it's even in decline, leading to a national crisis, but I digress..

Now, is Tesla selling all those BEVs in china? No, because BYD, a Chinese car maker, is almost on par with Tesla in terms of sales. Want to make a guess where BYD Is selling all its vehicles?

If any entity is driving the global BEV market it's china and BDY is doing the sales there.

Btw: did you know that in order to sell an electronic control unit to a Chinese car maker, it MUST consist of at least 25% (or so) electronic parts from china., per LAW.

Tl;Dr
Musk isn't the elephant in the automotive room, china is, and I am usually NOT part of the group that likes to spread panic about china.
