    Paul Graham Retweeted Stewart Alsop

    If this is true I'm less bullish on TSLA. It shows a degree of small-mindedness incompatible with huge success.https://twitter.com/salsop/status/694185662350667777 …

        @paulg the reality is, Musk *did* achieve huge success. It only shows your postulate is wrong and those can be compatible, to a degree.

        @isagalaev Tesla and SpaceX are doing well so far, but their valuations are almost entirely due to hopes of future revenue.

        @paulg yes, yes...because guys like Bezos and Jobs never let the little things get to them.

        @paulg @salsop @elonmusk Steve Jobs was incredibly petty at times.. don't think success and pettiness are mutually exclusive.

        @bbzeven @paulg @salsop @elonmusk Pettiness, rudeness are not winning tactics in business. Getting fired helped Jobs learn it the hard way.

        @Smartlikeagirl @paulg @salsop @elonmusk Jobs was plenty rude and petty after getting fired and returning to Apple.

        @Smartlikeagirl @paulg @salsop @elonmusk still not mutually exclusive. You can be superbly rude/petty and a great business person.

        @paulg As a happy Model S owner who just test-drove the X -- I agree! Diminishes my respect for the founder and his company.

        @johnofa @paulg If there's a waiting list of 20,000 for the X why does it matter? Sure, it might be petty, but not bad for business. No?

        @paulg there's likely more to the story. sometimes, letting the little things get to you is a byproduct of extreme ferociousness

        @paulg I Disagree. I think it shows that you are not willing to compromise on ethics and long term goals, for the sale of 1 car.

        @paulg @salsop @elonmusk it's also small mindedness to compare Tesla's success with this incident even if this is true

        @paulg @salsop @elonmusk I believe the next Tesla will monitor cabin conversations - negative words about the vehicle will shut it down

        @paulg I weep for @salsop. Let's start a GoFundMe to help this poor man see and touch a Tesla. And have a bite at dinner time.

        @paulg @salsop @elonmusk If this is true, it's also weakening the case of Tesla against the dealers and selling directly to consumers.
