'Earned' it?"
If you don’t find value in owning a Tesla, don't buy one. But don’t vandalize somebody else’s Tesla or firebomb a Tesla dealership just because you don’t like the guy. His innovative products created value for millions of consumers, thousands of employees, and all of Tesla’s shareholders. There are pirates who want to plunder that wealth. But that doesn’t make it right.
