    I agree that Ellen was significant in the race to EVs, but that is definitely in the past. As far as present tense goes, nah.

    The tenses are a bit murky “I used to think ‘he’s useful…’” “this still true…” could kinda go either way, but it sounds like you’re saying it applies today, and nah.

      Just read what I write, rather than what you think I might be trying to say.

      I can’t find it now but there was an analysis a few days ago by a reputable source, maybe in The Atlantic, which said basically what I just said. It’s not scandalous. The guy has an impressive record as a business leader. Perhaps not as a product specialist, or even an engineer, but as force for making things happen at the company level.

      Anyway, apparently there’s not much willingness to engage in nuanced debate here so that’s all I have to say.
