  1. I happened upon a short video Ms. Lopez did on which she showed a photo of a field where Tesla was soon to begin construction of a multi-billion dollar factory where they have since been building thousands of Teslas for the Chinese market. She seemed to infer that Tesla is no more capable of following through on their plans than Faraday Future, Nikola Trucks, or a few other automotive startups.

    “He (or she) who laughs last laughs best.”

    Elon Musk has not always hit every one of his target dates, but his record of awesome accomplishments with Pay Pal, Tesla, SpaceX, etc., are arguably far beyond those of any other living individual and can be compared favorably with those of Howard Hughes.

    Considering the challenges he carves out for himself, merely being late on one of his daunting projects should not be a reason to be embarrassed.

    This man has changed the way we conduct finance in momentous ways with PayPal; he has successfully launched thousands of satellites into orbit; dozens of his rocket boosters have landed on tiny barges rocking about at sea, saving millions of dollars in hardware with each launch.

    His SpaceX venture is the first and only private company to launch a payload out to the orbit of Mars or to sign many billions of contracts with NASA. He recently received a contract to land humans on The Moon.

    His transportation/ energy company (Tesla) has, in just a few short years, produced millions of vehicles; his high-speed EV charging stations are ubiquitous throughout this country and continue to be installed the world over, transforming the way we drive, and conduct commerce.

    Tesla has had a profound effect on the Australian state of South Australia, with its Hornsdale battery installation. Ask any Aussie how significant Tesla has been for them.

    Musk has been the richest man on the planet and will be the richest again once his Gigafactories in Germany and Austin, TX, are up and running if that is anyone’s gauge of worth in our society.

    There is no single individual that has affected the lives of Americans, or who will continue to do so in more and more profound ways. Ms. Lopez’s criticisms are truly pathetic.

  2. Linnette Lopez writes the most biased untrue stories aver – so anti-Elon / Tesla it’s crazy. Who’s paying her to lie all the time – big oil – her Daddy?

  3. I have never read a story that is so poorly research as Linette López wrote when she know for a fact the Democratic Party was started to keep slavery and the Republican party got rid of it. But to rewrite history and use out lies is why no one today has any respect for the left wing Media
