Tesla is not Apple. Tesla isn't profitable, and it's not exactly in the same type of market. Even the latest and greatest iPhone is cheap compared to a car, and an electric car is a much bigger "deal" in how it means you go about your life.
There is nothing "unique" about a Mac or an iPhone. It's a PC and a phone (yes, a mac is a personal computer too). Just like there isn't anything "unique" about an electric car from Tesla as opposed to, say, a Leaf. If so, the Leaf is even more unique.
That said, Apple isn't run by someone who needs "investors" to cover their daily operations costs.
Also, I find it disingenuous that you now go "lighten up buttercup" now that your ridiculous accusations of me having ulterior motives (I somehow have to be betting against the stock) for talking ******** about Musk & Co.
And as for your "both have been ridiculed": That is almost a verbatim echoing of "Well, they ridiculed Einstein/Galileo/Insert Genius here, so if people ridicule me, then I must be a genius too. It's a stupid, ignorant argument at best. At worst, it's irresponsible and can fool people enough to also invest in various fraudulent schemes. Yes, it's a quote from that article. But not any less stupid, any less ignorant, or any less irresponsible.
You know, (some) people also believed Ponzi was a genius, as did they with madoff. That's how con-men work. They just need to fool enough people and hope they get away with it. Some get away with it for decades.
Oh, and merry christmas (not sarcasm. TTYL).
