    I thought Ellen was a free speech absolutist? Weird how free speech absolutists always shut down criticism directed at themselves.

    Of course they did.

    The days in which businesses competed by trying to make the best possible product for the best possible price are dead and gone - sacrificed on the altar of shortsighted greed.

    The current strategy is to make the shittiest possible product for the highest possible price, then try to manipulate things so that it sells anyway.

    And that’s been Tesla’s strategy since day one.

      This has always been an underlying scam of capitalism. It’s usually much more profitable to lie and make money than it is to provide a truly good product and/or service.
