Also with browsers Microsoft killed Netscape ‘cut off their air supply’ by giving away a free browser.So your point is that once Musk shows the market for electric cars (has not been done yet) and/or makes the market (may never happen) then the big guys will come in and eat the lunch.Counterpoint to that? Amazon.

How hard is it to duplicate WeWork when you can see exactly how they do what they do?That said you are also right obviously. I think this is definitely going to happen with marijuana. The early guys (with those homespun shops and containers) will get killed by the big money.
