John Deere brags about sabotaging competitors & customers on hot mic - they’re PROUD of it!

Remove barriers to the creation of new firms.
Sounds like a screamy no context statement in vague cannibalistic threat form, fed made.
Make a new tractor company
you have to already be rich for that. instead, eat the rich.

Because it’s idiotic and non-actionable. I didn’t down vote him though. I say go ahead and try it, see how far you get. John Deer has lots of money, it’s not like they wouldn’t act to stop you. They’ll sue you into oblivion and they won’t even need a case with merit to drive your little startup into the ground. They’ll just outspend you, not to mention they’ll have consolidated supply lines that you’ll need and that they will not share. The first rule of capitalism is that competition is not to be tolerated.

If someone challenges you to a fist fight, don’t fist fight them. They want you to fist fight them because it gives them advantage. They’ve trained and prepared for fist fights their entire life. You are doing them a favor by fighting them by their rules. You have to fight them on your terms, playing your own game. Whatever your game is, that’s the way you have to face them. harrass, sabotage and disrupt. Failing that, guillotines are a very fun game indeed.
taking on a business, with business is like wresting a pig. You’ll both get dirty and the pig likes it.

We’ve cancelled people for less.
Your logic is: “Someone challenged me to a fist fight, so I declined, followed them home, and stabbed them and their family to death in their sleep, which makes me smart.”
No, my friend, it makes you a fucking psychopath.

You’re incorrect with your item number one, as far as being able to take an invention from the drawing board to actual product ready to be sold.
Under the right conditions it can be done for a lot less is what you’ve stated.

Look up Edison Motors. A literal logger in Canada is beating out every truck company with investors. People are excited and lining up to buy them (logging companies anyway).
What he’s doing with logging trucks can be done with tractors.
You should look up all the companies that failed to do that, then look up survivorship bias.
What is it? 90% of companies fail in under 3 years?
I get it. Still cool to see someone try and try well.
Wow, that’s a cool little company. Also, “Stealing Tesla’s Ideas”, ha.
Related to the sibling comment, good ideas are rarely the whole story to a company’s success. Execution (and luck) matter.
I’m going to need to read up more on them. The jump from “regular truck drivers who do repairs” to “so we put a locomotive drivetrain in our truck” is too big and I think it’s really the key to them getting off the ground.
Your have to be rich yourself to get away with reading the rich.
