I'll try to be more analytically clear:
* Ad tech & online ad products existed before Google (e.g., Net Gravity)
* E-commerce products existed before Amazon (e.g., Netscape Merchant System, Books.com)
* Cell phones w/apps existed before Apple (e.g., Nokia)
* DVD rentals & video streaming existed before Netflix (e.g., Amazon! & Youtube)
* EVs & BEVs existed before Tesla (e.g., Nissan, GM, Ford, Studebaker, BMW, Benz, et al)
In all of these cases,
the current winners aren't winning because they had a head start, they're winning because they had better products and executed better than competitors. The difference between Book Stacks Unlimited and Amazon in e-commerce isn't that Bezos had a head start -
it's that Bezos executed.
GM, for example, had a head start in BEVs,
but killed their BEV products because they had shit products. GM doesn't get a pass for being shitty product managers.
Elon Musk is simply a better business manager than ANY of the legacy auto companies: he's
beating them all with only 4 models and BEV drive trains.
