      but I love that he created the market for electric cars

      This is like saying OJ Simpson invented Smuckers Uncrustables so he’s not all bad…

      Firstly, it’s not true.

      Secondly, even if it was true, it doesn’t amount to enough to celebrate him.

      Because putting peanut butter and jelly in a sandwich was already a thing that was popular. It just became worse for the environment and more expensive for consumers by individuall packaging them and requiring them to be frozen.

          Oh wow…

          I mean I was going off of actual facts that you were wrong…

          But “it is true” completely changed my mind, without Musk buying a company that already existed, we never would have gotten EVs!

              Your claim he didn’t create the market

              No, you said Tesla created the market…

              I said that was false, now your demanding I prove your wrong because you can’t prove your opinion is facts.

              That’s not how this is supposed to work…

                  Your first link doesn’t even mention your claim…

                  Your second is an opinion piece that doesn’t back up their claims… And I doubt the authors judgement because they said up to 2016 no one was betting on EVs, despite virtually all of the big companies being in the game at that point.

                  If you set out to prove some people believe it wouldn’t happen without Tesla, congrats.

                  But I can find an article from someone who thinks the world is flat too, that doesn’t mean the world is flat.

                    The first link addressed his claim pretty thoroughly. I suspect you commented that assuming most people would not read it to verify your claim. I have seen you spouting bullshit all throughout this comment section so I had to read it so that I can call you out. You’re either lying or extremely bad at understanding the article. He provided links, you provided bullshit.

                    Here is the actual quote from the second article you take issue with: “But Elon Musk’s company has shown that EVs are a viable way to build a business. As recently as 2016, the jury was still out on that matter.” So you twisted shit so much you changed the meaning. That’s either done in bad faith or you’re extremely bad a reading comprehension.

                    So could you name any EVs that were available from the big companies in 2016?

                    I hate that I am here defending Tesla, but I hate the bullshit coming from you even more.
