    It’s not cheating to hire the workers you unceremoniously fired to save money asshole. It’s called capitalism.

    Then again, every super wealthy capitalist doesn’t actually want capitalism. They want feudalism, where nobody else is allowed to compete with them and if someone makes them angry they can banish them from society without trial.

      Usually they don’t allow competition, this one is a bit special because it involves two billionaires and it’s basically a show-off. The regular case is: they buy any potential competitor in an early stage and let it die. The 5% of the start-up CEOs that don’t just take the few hundred millions will face a nasty attack where they steal employees or do some negative marketing or whatever sabotage fits.

      I’m in the EV market right now, looking for a good commuter car, and Tesla went from my #1 spot to one of the last options. It’s amazing how well he tanked that whole business. Luckily there’s a ton of competition cheaters now

        My dad was going to buy a Tesla up until a few years ago, there’s far more and better competition nowadays. And it’s really seeming Tesla’s are actively dangerous.

      What grinds my gears the most is that every fucking manufacturer sucks at software and usability so hard it hurts every time. I rather have bad UX than bow to this moron though.
