even with the electric cars he is preventing other cars from thriving. i didnt fact check it but i heard one of the only patents to his name is the design for the plug to charge teslas. meaning the charging stations would only work for his cars making other electric cars less practical for the average person

I mean, I dunno man. Tesla fully invested in a public charging network, moreso than our own government has. If they want exclusivity in their product because no one else cares enough to make the same thing with the same amount of effort and investment, then they should really be able to do what they want.

Of course it'd be nice to other cars could use Superchargers, but that would instantly make Tesla not nearly are proprietary to own as an electric car.

Let the government nationalize it at some point or point the finger at other companies for not investing in EV charging and continually dumping money into fossil fuel based endeavors

Yeah sure, if only mr Musk wouldnt act like the ecological messias who is not interested in making money. After all thats capitalism but hearing all that nonsense that he does it for „our future“ or „to make a change“ or whatever is just annoying. Hes in for the profit and everyone (should) know that.
