It goes without saying that Musk is smarter than most would ever hope to be. But he's just too freaking stubborn sometimes for his own good. He could have owned that whole industry if he didn't have an ego the size of Jupiter. And it saddens me that an American car company had the opportunity to compete on a global stage and and just dropped the ball in the silliest way possible.
Edit: Eh, I should probably have excluded that first statement. That was not the point of this comment, and I don't know why I didn't foresee the controversy it was going to create. There's probably a more descriptive word than smart.

I about spit out my coffee.
I'm not saying that Musk is doing the same; but that one can be charitable and say he probably did not mean that. I mean, what does he stand to gain from doing so? He's a businessman.
Whew lad. This tells me all we need to know. "I don't know nothing but folks gotta listen to my opinion!"
