Elon muscled his way into being the face of the Tesla revolution and has now done his very best to bring into disrepute the brand by way of his self-serving indolence at the shareholders expense - but his personal benefit - for which said shareholders rewarded him for his destructive diligence in prioritising his own agenda over those who regard him as a genius. In that sense it's true. It takes a true genius to take down so many for so much for so long .....and be still loved for it.

All this focus on government support for Chinese auto makers is just a bit myopic. GM and Ford were on the verge of bankruptcy when President Obama bailed them out in the global financial crisis. The UK government (rather poorly) intervened regularly to support UK Car manufacturers. In short name a large car manufacturer that at some time or another has not received State support?
