No, I don't feel threatened by a little man like you who enters each and every thread on this forum with a self-righteous attitude and a chip on your shoulder. With each of your provocative, disjointed posts and ad hominem attacks you sound more and more unhinged and disconnected from reality. It is hard to believe you are still at this but obsessive compulsive, derisory posting that goes on for days and days every time you go out of your way to pick a petty fight with me is a routine at this point. This is what internet trolls do, of course. But none of this has anything to do with you having anything worthwhile to say or contribute to the forum, it's really all about you looking for conflict, which is something you are apparently addicted to.
I've got you figured out now. This is hilarious. You're a person who when confronted with facts, attempts to divert, deflect, and sidetrack a discussion to take away the fact
you were wrong. And when that fails, you have baited me to get threads locked. So you can walk away "saving face".
Man this must be a bruising to your ego about now! Having to defend your position without hiding behind Mods / Ops? Ouch.
As for Elon Musk nearly going bankrupt, that is old news that I referred to it in my first post about this. You know, the post you chose as a catalyst to engage this moronic spat with me several days ago.
Actually, it isn't old news. Because you blatantly stated in no fewer words that Elon Musk is the benchmark to achieve. Glossing over that he had MANY BUMPS and near complete failures (i.e. almost going bankrupt) before reaching his current status as the most valued brand in the world.
That's a significant amount of Hubris on your part. That ANYONE who attempts to invent and shoots for the stars, is overreaching by trying to shake up the world with a new invention. Even if the guy ends up failing, and his invention goes nowhere. Success don't happen, and dreams aren't achieved, without many failures along the way.
Because I questioned the value of the device Nigel was presenting you feel entitled to go on a multi-day accusative, obsessive rant. That's a good one! The thing I focused on more than the invention itself was the absurd hyperbole the CEO used when he compared his barely tested new invention by making comparisons to the disruption that Elon Musk’s Tesla has brought to the automobile sector after 18 years of hard work. Of course, you ignore that because it doesn't fit your narrative and because you apparently don't pay attention.
18 years of hard work, including near complete failures and bankruptcy.....
I certainly didn't gloss over anything I meant it as a compliment to Musk. Tesla had several near death experiences along the way but now that the company is the most valuable motor vehicle manufacturer in the world it is simply a testament to Musk's perseverance and is something that he can wear as a badge of honor. And the army of Tesla short sellers in the stock market that spent years expecting to profit off of their anticipations and hope for Tesla's demise have all had to run away with their tails between their legs.
O so now admitting that success isn't immediate or happens overnight. And yet, you put down the CEO in
@Nigel's story for "his barely tested new invention" and comparing himself to Elon Musk.
Remind me: What have you invented that changed the world? Or what have you invented and patented in your lifetime?
Lots of talk for someone I will bet large amounts of money whose lifetime achievements and inventions stand at ZERO!
I do find it fascinating that you have the habit of repeatedly accusing me of the behaviors you yourself are the one to regularly engage in. It is a symptom of a particular personality disorder actually.
So, this time around you characterize my brief reply to you as "rant" and then immediately launch into another one of your tedious and pointless tirades. Just amazing!
Victim Card again. Man, can't you stick to the facts?
1. You've resorted to insults, because you've lost credibility. Again, when you can't get a thread locked, and feel challenged, you pout!
While your overinflated sense of superiority leads you to believe that Tesla is nothing more than a "feel good" car, actual experts recognize the brand as
the pioneering leader in the transition to the future of electric vehicle transportation, one that is vital to a carbon free future. And how many CEOs literally give away their primary patents for a world changing technology? You really oughta' be more careful and discerning about who and what you
"escape goat"!
2. Your own words are your worst enemy!
I'm not getting this thread locked. But looks like you're doing your best to try and save face!
