So.... I wonder who controls the software I'm that car over there?
Elon right??
That's obvious cos it's not like they'd have Chinese writing everywhere on the display and wouldn't have first access to all the computing software, let alone being the only country on earth to 100% manafacture the Tesla's in house.
People wonder if elon ( or trump ) is a good guy or bad guy.
Elon is a " get rich" guy. And it so happens that he took a page from trumps book and made himself recognisable and a trustworthy brand.
A good reputation is a highly profitable one.
You only get one shot at it. Milk the good guy for all it's worth.
If there was more money in pulling strings amd being a bad guy behind the scenes then don't kid yourself, that's exactly what he'd be doing.
