As a Brit, I don't understand the antipathy towards Clinton. Yeas I can get that you might be a republican and have a conservative view of life that is different to her as an establishment Democrat or you might be a lefty and see her as a hawk. You might not like the way she talks ... but she is experienced and proven reasonably competent overall ... yeah there is Benghazi (a stretch to solely blame her) and the emails (more about security than their content), that might show carelessness.... but there is no evidence she is wicked or 'crooked'. She seems to be a stolid centrist with a hawkish view on foreign policy.... not exactly anathema to a conservative world view.
Your news hasn't been bombarded with criminal theories about her and her husband for the last 25 years as the US has.
Richard Brodie who was a manager at Microsoft and led the Word 1.0 project has become an author after leaving MS. He wrote a book on memes called "Virus of the Mind". Memes are ideas which replicate themselves from person to person. Most Americans can complete the phrase "things go better with _____" because it was the tag line for Coca Cola for a long time. That's a harmless meme, even if it might be annoying sometimes.
When memes change our behavior, they become viruses of the mind. These days a lot of people are paranoid about some stranger grabbing their kid off the street, even though something like 97% of child abductions are someone they know, most often a parent during a custody dispute. Since 9/11 Americans have been paranoid about terrorists, and there have been some incidents, but your odds of getting killed driving to work, even in a Tesla, are many times higher.
The US news media has created memes about the Clintons, which have a small nugget of truth at the center of most of them, that are way blown out of proportion to the actual offense. Hillary Clinton adds to the meme by having a personality that grates on many people (including me). John Oliver (one of the best imports the US has seen in decades) has a program on HBO you have probably heard of where he does what I call investigative comedy. His staff does quite a good job of running various stories to ground and he gives a new take on them.
A few weeks ago he did a story looking at Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's backgrounds. His show had been off a few weeks at that point and he said he and his team investigated every Clinton scandal to the start and he said it was incredibly frustrating. In almost every case there was something there, but in every case the news media had blown it way out of proportion. The video is up on Youtube and it worth watching.
At the end he likened it to an oatmeal cookie with raisins. Hillary Clinton is a cookie with more than the usual amount of raisins, but Donald Trump is a cascade of billions of raisins, sans cookie.
Certainly I would trade her for our current Prime Minister who is substantially less than the sum of her parts, and if you give me Donald Trump, I will rase you his mini me Boris Johnson
At least Boris Johnson has held elected office and there is some track record to point to. Other than that, he does seem kind of like the UK's Trump. I'm more aware of US politics than UK, but when he was mayor of London I thought he was better thought of than he is now that he is an MP.
Even if I thought Donald Trump was a reasonable person I would be concerned about him being president because he has no related experience. Elon Musk is ineligible to be president because he was not born an American citizen, but even if he was, I would be concerned if he was running for president. Given his track record, he is IMO much more capable of learning the job than Donald Trump, but running businesses and running governments are completely different skill sets, even if the US has a meme floating around that government would be helped by having more business people running it, I disagree. It's too simplistic.
At this point it looks like Hillary Clinton will win the election and the EV industry may or may not get a boost from her administration, but it likely won't be harmed. Her husband was outstanding at economic issues (he also was lucky enough to be dealt a strong economic hand to start with, IMO he played a good hand perfectly) and if her administration follows suit, she will likely do things that boost the US economy of years to come. EV tech is an emerging technology like the internet was in the early 1990s. Doing something to boost that industry in the US could pay off in dividends for decades to come.
