So when sabotage occurs in Film/TV it's about someone trying to move ahead by making someone or something fail. I wonder what this is really about. But I'd say the statement that it PROVES the guy shouldn't be promoted is quite right:

Its a great article and video that one.. Here it is, embeddable on YT
As a lot of articles have pointed out, Elon spent around a billion dollars to robotify the other half of the factor where car makers have long tried and failed. He was told it wouldn't work but he just had to try to see for himself, hurting production.
I think he knew the attempt to ridiculously robotify would probably fail but he had to see it for himself and he knows he can get away with it because of the insane valuation of the Tesla stock.
Normally when companies spend huge amounts of money trying to make folks unemployed they are disliked (maybe the motive of the saboteur) but this is not the case for Tesla, its the bias that comes when people like something, it triggers the tribal part of the brain and lets it take over.
It's the same with green energy, even though when you go digging into it and find none of it is green at all, as long as on the surface its likable then its accepted. Despite everything from radioactive sludge lakes 10km2 wide for the rare earth elements like Neodymium, or the African kids in DRC digging up cobalt, its been pretty well and truly proven people do not really care if it doesn't affect them or their favored political powers.

I think I have become more fascinated by renewable energy more because its a window into how selfish and stupid humans are than anything else. And of course how MSM just play with our minds and attitudes with this stuff, like stringable puppets as equally effectively than the North Korean regime can.
There is enough momentum via retail investors and excitement in EV buyers that he knows someone could nuke bomb the Tesla factory and just keep going, lets just built two factories in its place, yay!
There is enough exuberant valuation in the Tesla sharemarket stock and lined up retail investors that capital raisings and dilution of creating more stock could give Tesla at least another $100 billion over time before investors have truly had enough, so that's 15 years at least worth of money to try out new things as long as Tesla remains exciting enough to investors.
The momentum is huge so I don't expect to see Tesla fail any time soon, but I most certainly wouldn't be a shareholder either.
