How is this different than Tesla? http://blog.sfgate.com/energy/2014/02/28/tesla-from-the-brin...
It was near death yet Musk is now a SV hero?
Tesla survived. That's the difference. If Tesla would have failed you would have seen the same amount of criticism because it's, for the lack of a better term, a dick move. Though from what I hear at least some people at Tesla knew about it.
Tesla was never a few days from having to lay off the entire staff.
Even a few weeks out from bankruptcy, they had $9 million in the bank and payroll has seniority.
Personally, there's a huge difference between waking up and finding out my job was lost overnight and getting a week or two notice.
Near death and dead are very different.
Only in hindsight.
Didn't GM et. al. go bankrupt the same year Telsa nearly did?
