    At the rate the government will be taking control of American car companies there will be no need for risk takers like Musk. Some of us will be lucky to have a golf cart.

    I watched this interview last night I don't consider this a puff piece because it's a talk show, not a political squawk fest. Also it's clear Letterman owns a Tesla and wanted to make the point that if the Big 3 really tried to nurture this tech a decade ago instead of constantly challenging CAFE increases while pumping out temporarily profitable big dumb trucky SUVs they wouldn't be near dead now...and he's right.

    @General Halfshaftery: I've read stuff from the great oil embargos and gas crisis of the 70s that all of this stuff...solar power, wind power, electric cars was hyped back then and it was NOT just because of oil prices...people were talking greenhouse effect AND saying the polar icecaps would melt someday and no one paid ANY attention. No one.
    It just led to Reaganomics and the "me" consumer years of the 80s and 90s. No one cared about the effect on the planet and very few believed that such a thing as "melting polar icecaps" was even possible.


    Letterman is justifiably outraged but he did have a platform all these years and didn't use it until now. And that makes me outraged.

    So what he's saying is that all Tesla Roadster buyers are actually just test subjects for future mass market buyers. Way to inspire brand loyalty!

    I don't care what anybody says, this guy is a con artist, or to be politically correct, a "social engineer."


    I don't care what his stated intentions are either, his practices show his true intent, which is to milk this for all it is worth.

    In reply to Sarah Lacy Is the Interviewer Elon Musk Was Looking For
    From all available evidence, I have a sneaking suspicion that it doesn't take a very powerful induction coil to spark Herr Muschkkk's outrage. And as everyone knows, giggling is permissible in any reporter who has naturally curly hair, and dimples. As for the NY Times; "It was the best of Times, it was the worst of Times...", as is generally the case. Only with notably less of the former, and more of the latter these days.


    Which one do I want to poke with a stick more? All of them? Ok then.

    Sarah Lacy is probably the worst tech journalist in the Valley. She has no style, is pretentious and her questions are downright dumb. It's amazing how far a pretty face and long legs will get you.
