I was shopping for batteries when installing solar a couple years ago. Essentially my choices were Powerwall 2 or Enphase. I specifically did not want NMC/NCA batteries nor did I want a Musk product. The Enphase batteries were more money for less capacity.

I bought the Enphase batteries, and I'm happier for it. The whole Enphase solar system has been bulletproof and I'm very happy with it.

And he never had any consequence over selling his fake Tesla solar tiles, which were made in an LA prop shop.

Holmes went to prison for fraud, this guy just gets more money.

I think Holmes exclusively cheated investor-class rich people

So sorry, but that money is earmarked for the trillion dollars that we're giving to Elon.

How could anyone get $1,000,000,000 and think "I really need that another 700 times this year"?

That's

  • 1.9 billion dollars per day
  • 80 million dollars per hour or
  • 1.3 million dollars per minute

I don't think I could spend over a million dollars a minute for an entire year.

It's a mental illness. Or several in a trench coat.

People get treated for hoarding junk, but not for hoarding money.

With bi-polar disorder, primarily depressive people will get treated, but primarily manic often won't. When was the last time you went to the doctor and said "I'm feeling too good today. Life feels great even though it shouldn't, and I want medication to feel worse"? *

When a mental illness causes people to be successful, it's rarely treated because it's only harming other people and not them.

* This example is an oversimplification and ignores the many real issues caused by manic episodes.
