It's not like other big business doesn't use their clout in inventive ways to preserve legacy business models against the public interest. If I was running the lobby/strategy group for big oil and drawing up a game plan I know Tesla would be somewhere high on the list as both a genuine threat and a catalyst for others. " et al, plan to somehow bring all the world's EV producers to nought by some or other nefarious means, it is totally implausible that they will try to do it with just Tesla.

We'll have to agree to differ. I don't discount Musk's weirdness or the problems he's brought on the company but Tesla has provided much of the industry catalyst.
