Both emperors are naked, one just has a much higher approval rating.
Tesla is a tougher one, because they do produce a good product, while exaggerating far more than they produce.
In 2015 Musk said they want to produce 2020 they want to produce 500k vehicles, and even with covid they will come close to this or even hit it.
To compare the two is beyond ridiculous. Nikola literally never deliver a single vehicle or achieved a single significant engineering goal.
If you actually think they are remotely comparable there is something seriously wrong with your perspective on the world.
