The Tesla Roadster came onto the market in 2008 and was truly something unprecedented. After selling fewer than 2500 units, the Roadster was discontinued in 2012. And from 2012 until today, there have always been better alternatives to Tesla. One look at Tesla's vehicles would have been enough to show that Musk is anything but a genius. A look at the factories shows that Musk is not a good person (anti-union, disregard for labour protection). I have long said that Musk is not a genius and that Teslas are not good cars. I was never stopped from saying that. But nobody listened to me either. I was slightly stunned to see that there were more and more Teslas, while I expected the company to collapse soon. Tesla isn't the only one of Musk's companies worthy of criticism. Starlink is probably the worst. Starlink gives him huge influence and at the same time jeopardises the whole of space travel and astronomy.
