is it really wasted dollars if the idiots and investors pour attention and money in, respectively. This whole thing was a stupid marketing stunt, but the average dumbass believes it was real, and the average Tesla investor isn't too much higher up the intelligence totem pole.
That's what I keep saying. The one strength Elon has going for him is that he's a good salesman/conman, as narcissists tend to be. People who see through his bullshit don't really matter for his success. What matters is the people who fall for it.
I don’t like Elon or Tesla, but I don’t see a big problem with this specifically. The big automakers have been making wild concepts for commercials and auto shows for decades that will never get put into production. It keeps their name in the news, draws attention, and makes good TV commercials.
I doubt he greenlights everything that the company does. Pretty sure most companies are set up in a way where they can function without the lead member of the board of directors. So you saying that he did is as much of an assumption as saying that he didn't do anything. But I am pretty sure he didn't do any of the engineering as that isn't his job.

He did have a hand in it. Someone had to green light all those wasted dollars for the project.
