Default "Car Biz Is Hell" -- Musk

Musk is the first person in decades to start a serious automobile brand and even he knows there's just something fundamentally _wrong_ with cars.

Has anyone in the bicycle industry said anything similar?

Default "Car Biz Is Hell" -- Musk

As _Wired_ points out eventually prospective employees find out about Musk and are better prepared to deal with the situation -- eggzactly the meaning behind the feedback diagram.

To be sure some of the people Musk fired probably were deficient in some way. A lot of job seekers are like the tie wearing cat with "caught the red dot" on his resume and fool deficient managers at Tesla.

But "saving the planet" doesn't make any behavior acceptable. It's not even 100% clear battery electric will prevail over H2 or carbon capture in the long run and Musk is leading everyone over yet another cliff/dead end.

Moreover, as _Wired_ also points out, it's hard to see this kind of management competing against German and Japanese manufactures who actually do work as a team, but that may not even be Musk's goal.

Finally a bicycle has a much lower foot print than any motor vehicle, fuel or battery.

Does anyone know of similar justifications for bad behavior at Cannondale?

Note Tesla lawyers said that _Wired_ could be sued, pretty surprising anyone could make such an idle threat with a straight face this late in the day.
