Multiple sites are reporting on a recent article in Der Spiegel about what might be the largest cartel case in German economic history. Automakers VW, Audi, Porsche, BMW, and Daimler are alleged to have coordinated in secret since the 1990s regarding, among other things, diesel emission cheating.

The difference is billionaire playboy Elon Musk is not in any danger of dying alone in a hotel room and deeply in debt. Musk is too fucking greedy and doesn't deserve to use the name Tesla. Fuck Musk.

Q: Hey, what do you drive?

There is also no direct proof that Tesla invented many of the inventions people claim he invented. In fact, some are outright false. Search for "tesla man vs myth" and you will find a few sources. The top most link should be the Tesla Debunked article on the Edison Tech Center website. It lists the myths and the true names of inventors and the sources. Not that I'm 100% convinced that a pro Edison site is telling the complete truth either but there is a lot of BS regarding the man's history.
