I'm not seeing that. The truck is a mess of a product. The self-driving is terrible compared to things like waymo, and the robot seems to be entirely fraud. Tesla cars was a good product but now lost the early lead and 2025 sales were unimpressive and certainly not remotely enough to justify the stock price.

So he gives 4, which but 1 are all terrible, and is rightly criticized. Then he inserts hateful regressive politics into our collective culture as the secondary price of using/buying/supporting his brand and products. If anything, he's under-criticized and keeps failing up.

You very conveniently don't mention SpaceX the most well accomplished of his companies (and of any modern space company for that matter) -- I really don't believe SpaceX is as good as it is because of him though...

And no I'm not a fan of the Musk personna.
