There are some apparently legitimate issues, followed by political grievances against Musk personally, written by a guy who describes himself as "law professor, activist". This kind of partisanship taints the whole article, and lessens its credibility.

Lawrence Lessig is a pretty famous guy: Creative Commons, "code is law", net neutrality, etc.

I'm not sure any of this makes him terribly qualified to comment on Tesla's economic prospects though.

If you think the kind of partisanship Lessig have taint anything negatively, you either do not know about him or hang in the wrong place imho. I happen to think he's mostly wrong and disagree with a lot of what he write (sorry, it's true), but I have to respect the thinker and his ideology.
