Elon Musk: Interview with FT’s Person of the year

Elon Musk says he wants to be generous with his critics. But after years of battling an army of doubters in the rest of the auto industry and on Wall Street, the Tesla chief executive’s frustration is hard to contain.

«For a long time, the rest of the auto industry was basically calling Tesla and me fools and frauds,» Musk says in an interview with the Financial Times. «They were saying electric cars wouldn’t work, you can’t achieve the range and performance. And even if you did that, nobody would buy them.»
