Tesla makes idiots mad in a lot of ways that a simple bookmonger-gone-maverick never could. It draws ire from haters in a very SPECIAL way. I think it's unique in this sense.That's the best part.
Do all growth story companies attract this sort of conspiracy nuttery? Or is there something special about how Tesla combines tech, green energy, and Elon's personality that attracts the crazies? I know Amazon had it's share of dedicated shorts in the past, but I don't recall them being this crazy. I suppose social media's amplifying effect could be a factor. Prior to that people couldn't sit around and feed off each other.
