KEY POINTS
Elon Musk said he would form a new political party called the “America Party.”
Tesla shares fell Monday after Musk’s announcement.
Tesla shareholders have wanted Musk to stay away from politics, especially after his stint at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, which many have said damaged the automaker’s brand.
And smart.
But it turns out he basically steals the ideas of better people and takes all the credit. Truly a modern day Thomas Edison. But even worse.
Worse, for many reasons, but also: stealing Tesla’s actual name this time
No. Yet again, you are giving him too much credit. He did not start Tesla nor did he have ANY hand in any of the successful designs.
I’m pretty sure his PR teams were the ones behind the Tesla crush the Internet had though.
