Just for context, when Boeing completed the 747 Airbus wasn't even a thing. 5 decades later they have caught up in most categories and even surpassed in some. Who knows, maybe something similar will happen again?
- cookiewill 11d agoAirbus did not come into existence out of nowhere. It is the result of merging some companies that had some ancestry going back to the time of aviation pioneers.
- kakacik 11d agoAlmost nothing starts from 0, its not a very smart idea to ignore generations of experience and wrong decisions. Tesla also started with musk joining already well working EV startup, didn't it.
- k4rli 11d agoNothing was "started" by him joining. Name was the same and they were already producing car(s). He did bring his skills for fraud and puffery though.

- NetMageSCW 9d agoTesla was not a well working startup - they had no funds and he was the fourth employee. They had some ideas about making an electric car.
