I lost respect for the Oracle when he got involved in presidential politics. Of all people, he should know to stick to his expertise.

Why wouldn’t he invest in an “established” EV manufacturer like Fisker, Phoenix Motor Cars, or MilesEV?

Getting into the company at the ground floor is better? Doesn’t like the business prospects for the companies I mentioned?

I’m not going to be investing in anything that the Chinese gov’t can snatch back on a whim later. Also not going to fund the Chinese communists gov’t either.

They’ve already unveiled their Honda Accord knockoff, as well as Toyota Corolla knockoff and other Toyota knockoffs….

Hopefully they’ll start to develop designs of their own soon. They had come up with their own genuine F6 sedan and then chickened out and cloned the prior-gen Honda Accord (with revised front clip & tail lights, interior) which was the basis of the F6H three cylinder plug-in hybrid that I saw in January at the Detroit Auto Show. Yeah, it was impressive – especially for a relatively small, fairly unknown company from a developing nation.

So when are they going to unveil their electric Lotus Elise knockoff?
