Let's put it like this.

If Elon Musk or any of the persons he has working for him in upper management said "the batteries Tesla makes are feeble". Or "the model of our company is failing". Don't you think that is detrimental to the company? Do you think people want to run out and purchase their cars in light of these comments from people who hold important positions within the company?? Do you think this instills confidence?

This is not about the primary (i feel i have to point that out). This is about recent events.

1. If Tesla market-share was falling, and their stock value was plummeting, and he pretended...

that everything was going great and nothing had to change, he would be sacked and replaced by the shareholders.

3. I can guarantee you will never hear those words coming from his mouth ever.

7. You forgot Gerrymandering, voter suppression and Russia ... I'm not expecting much ... so

[killbotfactory]

9. A CEO who says "It's everyone's fault but mine" wouldn't last long.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts have been going on for years, why weren't the democrats prepared to counter them?

10. A CEO blaming the company for what its not responsible for would have even shorter tenure, unfair...

... critique is useless.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts have been going on for years, why weren't the democrats prepared to counter them?

There's not an ounce of reality to this relative to an easy google search on what the Obama admin has done to fight this

Oh

forgot about Russia

8. You'd have to show

evidence that the CEO is actually pretending what you claim he is pretending. Counter evidence to that final premise would damage the argument. Abundant and documented counter evidence would demolish the claim.

Analogies are valid only to the extent that they are on point.

2. K&R!

4. Actually that's pretty much exactly what Steve Jobs did to build perhaps the most successful company

in the world.

5. Oh yah.

6. Trump is not really a businessman. He plays one, badly, on reality television. eom

11. +1, Rush Limbaugh is now saying the Democratic* party is failing. It sounds

like only a slight mutation of what Bernie has said. Not much different at all.

*Rush calls us the "Democrat" party, though.
