>They've _always_ fought against the odds and always looked like a bad bet if you only looked at numbers.

To quote Peter Thiel, "Never bet against Elon Musk."




>"Never bet against Elon Musk."

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. - Abraham Lincoln

Elon musk is on phase 2...and it can go on for a while..it seems..


He's not particularly fooling anyone - he's achieving what he says he will, just a bit off schedule for the most part.


Smells like a cult. I would love Tesla to succeed, but schedule is everything. I can claim I will cure the cancer, but if the deliver is 2000 years later. It means nothing.


Schedule is a big part of what he's forced to talk about these days...


I think people are just ready for a company likes musk's. People want an strong enigmatic company thats focused on technologically improving things. And for whatever sliver of time we're living in the stars aligned and for once what the people want was made a lucrative thing. I hope things change in his favor.


I’d buy that index fund.


Seriously. Their battery manufacturies are amazing.


Because it is Panasonic's manufacturing, probably?


Quite possibly.
