And that’s why he wants to show he can make a profit...

Please reread Musk’s email to the Tesla minions as he writes conflicting statements.  He talks about reducing headcount to become profitable but also writes that profits were never a motivation for the company?  Which is it?

Do you live in a black and white world? Why do you have to pound on every single thing that is not even an issue to start with? Again, you seem to have an agenda despite your denial... that’s just how it looks, sorry...

Profits are not a motivation so they HAVE to just completely ignore the economics? Sorry but your post does not make sense.

BTW this was the full quote and not the part you chose to focus on:

”Given that Tesla has never made an annual profit in the almost 15 years since we have existed, profit is obviously not what motivates us,” Musk wrote in an internal email Tuesday. “What drives us is our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable, clean energy, but we will never achieve that mission unless we eventually demonstrate that we can be sustainably profitable. That is a valid and fair criticism of Tesla’s history to date.”

you are a thorough person, we can tell from your posts. So once again how can we not think you purposely did not post the rest of it or not taken it into account?
