Elizabeth Holmes was going to create life saving blood test technology but couldn’t so she committed fraud. Turns out she didn’t do anything different than any other blood testing company, other than committing massive fraud.

Elon Musk was going to save the world from climate change by inventing a new technology that is affordable and a substitutes to fossil fuels. Turns out nothing of Tesla’s is new technology and relies on dangerous cobalt and lithium mining for their massive batteries that power their cars, not to mention are recharged with fossil fuels via electricity from the grid.

Will Tesla be profitable and provide cheap electric cars for the masses like Musk has claimed, or just another Theranos when it’s all said and done?

Musk bankrolls many things that actually work.

Holmes claimed to invent something that 100% did not work.


So.... no.

yes

the fact that Tesla cars are on the road make this comparison utterly stupid, even for TD gotcha scenarios

also, before Tesla Musk already had created and sold successful companies (including Paypal)

Was Theranos not a multi billion dollar company? They had contracts with major pharmacies.

I agree the comparison may be a bit of a stretch, but there are definitely similarities.

They turned profit the last two quarters.

Yeah sure, some fudging going on, but that's every corporation.

The people have spoken, it was a dumb comparison that made no sense. Just accept it and move on.

The funny thing about this is Tesla can hit zero and it would still be a stupid comparision, even funnier is that you still don't realize that.

One person created a company that would lower lab cost, it did not.

One person created a company that created the first reusable rocket that could land.

Musk has sent multiple rockets in space and resupplies the ISS thanks to a contract with NASA. Even if Tesla failed, SpaceX is his real love anyway.
