So, are we just going to ignore that the man is literally asking for YEARS of deposits aka free loans, for a car that literally might never come to fruition?
This is insanity. How are shareholders still supporting this man?

Space lasers, man.
I never claimed he’s out there wrenching on starship. The claim is that he builds companies that do spectacular things, which is why his spectacular claims for the future achievements of those same companies are not taken immediately as fantastic as they would be if spoken by any other person alive.
Edward Jenner invented the smallpox vaccine. Smallpox killed 300 million in the 20th century alone and was eradicated in 1980.
Or maybe Norman Borlaug, who invented a kind of high yield wheat that is estimated to have saved a billion from starvation.
These certainly aren’t the kind of achievements Musk aims for (quite the opposite in fact) but I’d argue they have a far, far greater impact than anything he has even tried to do.
He’s got cooler demos though, I’ll grant you that.
Your obsequiousness is disgusting.
Who wouldn’t want to invest in a company that can achieve zero interest, risk free loans that might not even need to be paid back in full?
Why are people putting down these gigantic deposits for what is obviously vapor ware?
I don't see how a Ponzi scheme involving paying to reserve a future product is even possible. One of us does not understand what "Ponzi scheme" means.
The Roadster is about marketing as racing is to every other car manufacturer.
They do not need the measly deposits for this car to sustain Tesla, not even close.
