Maybe you should quote the entire paragraph instead of truncating it in a way that makes it look ridiculous. As I said in the next sentence, "Musk is persistent and a quick learner."
And then as I write later in the piece:
"Musk ignored the conventional wisdom, and he has gotten much further than anyone expected. He has sold hundreds of thousands of cars and has hundreds of thousands more people eager to buy the Model 3 as soon as it's available. Moreover, Tesla has had a huge influence on the broader car industry, forcing every major carmaker to take battery electric vehicles seriously."
- neolefty 8y agoI liked the balance in the article—that his eagerness to forge a new trail is both a strength and a weakness.
- joobus 8y agoI didn't think the rest of the paragraph helped your cause in any way. You appear to admit he fails at his objectives, but threw in an unsubstantiated claim that he's a quick learner. If he was a quick learner, he would have learned he makes outrageous claims, and tempered his statements.
