Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I am feeling better but I slept most of yesterday, super fun way to spend a day off.

  1. In the 1970s the US automakers were blindsided by German and especially Japanese companies. But they eventually survived because even though CEOs like Henry Ford 2 and Roger Smith were stodgy unimaginative dummies, they weren’t delusionals off chasing goblins. Plus they had enough backup true professionals in their executive offices to move past crappy V8 sedans.

    Tesla has a huge Musk problem and will continue to have it until he’s gone, unless he crashes the whole operation.

      • You’re not wrong. Electric vehicles appeal to tree-hugging liberals, and Elmo has massively alienated that customer base. Bubbas in MAGA caps, incels, preppers, sovereign citizens, and hillbilly “militias” drive gas-fueled Ford F-150s.

        Once again, Elmo’s “genius” is destroying a company.
