In business, investing in something that ends up losing money is bad. On a personal development level, sure, let's all agree that failure is a good teacher. When trying to make money, I think we'd prefer that we just go ahead and do that, not entertain ourselves with failures.You’re wrong. Failure to succeed most definitely has a benefit. If fact it can have several benefits none of them inherently ‘bad’.
BMW is free to be a vulturous company benefiting from other’s hard work and not giving a damn if one fails trying to fatten BMW. Tesla (and SpaceX and TE and TS...) are showing there’s another, better way. It’s long overdue for the world to be a community and understand that by helping each other we strengthen everyone.
As far as BMW being a vulturous company, blah blah blah, all I can say is, "huh?" I haven't seen even the slightest suggestion that Tesla is some kind of corporate do-gooder helping other companies through their challenges with gentleness and love. Wasn't Elon's strategy to hire multiple contractors and then just fire the ones that don't perform as well? And if noone could do it well enough, just fire them, bring it in house, and sue? Maybe I remember a different X ramp than you do. I'm not criticizing this. This is business not circular series reacharound time.
