"Anyone think it's funny that Tesla was named after a man who pioneered much of the modern technology we know and depend on today, who also was kind of flakey financially?"

I have no problem acknowledging Tesla's contribution to science and I have no problem acknowledging what Musk has done, but I do find it funny that both Musk and Tesla misled investors, both love self promotion, both over-state their accomplishments, and both are/were notoriously offended when challenged.
The point of the post was, those similarities are real, the Tesla name is truly appropriate for Musk, and it is funny.
