When financial analyst\u00a0Toni Sacconaghi of Sanford C. Bernstein\u00a0asked<\/a>\u00a0Tesla CEO Elon Musk about the money-losing electric car company\u2019s capital requirements going forward (Tesla has burned through \u2013 cue Dr. Evil \u2013 one\u00a0billion<\/em>\u00a0dollars in three of the last four quarters) Musk replied:\u00a0\u201cBoring, bonehead questions are not cool. Next?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fo sheer effrontery, this tops even The Chimp\u2019s\u00a0I am the Decider!<\/em><\/p>\n

Neither man gives a damn about the damage \u2013 human or financial \u2013 imposed on others. Nor that others are made to\u00a0pay<\/em>\u00a0for it all. They don\u2019t even give lip service to pretending anything they do bothers them in the least. All that matters is a Great Dream \u2013 whether it\u2019s \u201cregime change\u201d in some resource-rich country which hasn\u2019t attacked us (a war crime, once upon a time) or this equally demented business of manufacturing electric cars that almost no one would\u00a0freely<\/em>\u00a0buy\u00a0absent<\/em>\u00a0the subsidies and mandates.<\/p>\n

Raise your hand, ask a reasonable question \u2013 and it\u2019s dismissed as \u201cboring\u201d and \u201cboneheaded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sacconaghi was also lectured by Musk to not \u201cmake a federal case\u201d out of Tesla failing to achieve the ludicrous 25 percent gross profit margin on sales of the Model 3 it claimed it would make. A reasonable question, given most legitimate car manufacturers \u2013 those whose cars sell on their economic merits, without needing taxpayer-financed propping-up via subsidies and mandates \u2013 earn about 4 percent or so.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s something that we\u2019ll solve like within three months to six months later,\u201d Musk said.
