Does Tesla have automation problems? They appear to be having atrocious labor conditions while putting out a very small quantity of product compared with absolutely everybody else.

I bet. I see this frequently in companies with high automation dependency. If your automation isn’t working correctly you accelerate full speed into a brick wall.

Elon Musk is the Preston Tucker of our time — seems to get hammered from all sides while trying to break the status quo. I have no information to comment on the validity of any allegations, but it seems like Musk is continually under attack. I was a moderate Musk fan before, but now I am really hoping for his success. It seems to me that if you are pissing off everyone, you’re doing something right.

I highly recommend watching the Coppola film “Tucker, A Man and His Dream.”

It's also notable that TSLA has a very large community of short interests. That kind of money can drive all sorts of stories in the press...

I'm curious, does that also apply to the POTUS?

The source of being pissed of now is higher then usual injury rates. It is good that such a thing pisses everyone off.

Valuing mans dream and ambitions over people he hurts on a way is wrong ethics. People who cancel on dreams when they are causing damage are superior.

Maybe you should read about the allegations? He's under attack for abusing his workers. This is a good reason to be pissed off, and a good reason _not_ to hope for his success.

> investigation

That's an important word, since it does not mean that he is convicted of doing so. If investigation immediately meant guilt, the world would be a very different place.
