You are totally right Bezos has nothing to do with the day to day of Rivian and is also not the Majority stakeholder. the point i was hoping to make was that people tend to hyper fixate on Elon and then totally ignore the horrible things associated with other car brand. Rivian is somewhat safe currently in that regard, even if their association with Amazon is troubling (says the man who has 3 packages from amazon in route).

But if you look at companies like Lucid, their Majority stakeholder (61%) is the Saudi Government. In terms of who i would support between Elon and The Saudi Government , Well I'm picking the Edgelord manchild every day (until he goes full Supervillian.)

And old school Companies like Ford and VW.. well Henry Ford was pure Evil and VW was founded by Hitler himself..
A friend of mine Sold his Tesla because of Elon and got himself a Mustang Mach-E.. he is now the butt of a thousand jokes (and yes Henry ford is long dead but still the evil he did should never be forgotten)

​

And to add, Bezos is pretty much the epitome of Rocket douche, but i find it hard to call Elon a Rocket douche these days.
You have to take into consideration that Bezos has so far not even reached orbit and most of the launches are expensive joyrides while SpaceX is now the primary launchprovider for NASA and the only American launch provider that can deliver Humans to the ISS, They had in 2022 61 orbital launches, that ties with the Soviet unions record from 1980. and they are building the next Moon lander.

Elon is a Douche, but he is not a Rocket Douche, thats a title only Bezos gets to keep (especially after the stunt he pulled with the Artemis Program)
