I'm going to disagree with Xist on this one. Elio wan't any more of a waste of time and money than anything else. Yes, it was a scam. Investors and depositors got robbed legally, and that's about it.

We "wasted" time here discussing its viability as a vehicle, the way the company was "run" and other related bits. "Investors" gambled, customers got suckered, and the world kept moving.

In the meantime, other startups have actually produced efficient three wheeled vehicles. Tesla showed that you can build a successful company if you actually bother to produce something. And Elio has not.

Maybe Musk could build one as a Tesla I? He could tweet that the I is for "Iota" and people would be lining up to buy them. Because while Musk and Elio are both hustlers who sell dreams to investors, one of them actually uses the hype to accomplish things.

I still want one.
