Tesla is often compared to Apple.

I guess in this case it’s the Apple that dominated an emerging market, then fumbled it and completely lost the market to the IBM PC and ended up as a bit player for the next two decades.

Except Apple ditched their firebrand founder to fumble it all. In Tesla's case they are tied to the hip of their "founder" and are fumbling it.

Stonk still high though so...
