Tesla Motors Shaken Up, Laying Off

tjstork writes "Tesla Motors, the darling of technorati for its high performance electric car, may be about to go belly up. Venture capital is cut off, layoffs are under way, and construction plans are being stretched out. Elon Musk has ousted the CEO and taken the reins, blaming the global credit crunch."

The thing that intrigues me about Tesla, to this day, is that from his very humble beginnings, everyone always thought he was nuts and thinking about the impossible. From the science teacher that told him that his AC/DC converter was as viable as a "Perpetual motion" machine, to Edison himself who claimed he was dangerous and slightly insane, he still kept proving them wrong and was able to push hard enough to show that he was actually right the whole time.
It was only later, when he was much older that people were able to fight him off from creating his inventions that he was labelled as crazy or insane but I do wonder if they had anything to them after all.
