Without resorting to hyperbole a reasonable case can be made that Tesla losing $5B is more utilitarian than SNAP,GRPN,ZNGA losing $5B.

It is all about how society allocates its capital/claim checks(to use Buffett's term).

Case is simple: we need to move away from fossil fuel economy at some point before it is too late.

We can argue whether TSLA approach is wrong and whether we have plenty of time to adapt.
