I suggest the rebadged name should be Antifa.

Even better, Tesla and all other Musk businesses should be forced into bankruptcy.

Shouldn't a rebadged Tesla be an Edison?

Already taken.

Musk is much more of an Edison than a Tesla. If he'd been honest he would have named his cars Edison. Then, the cool rebadge could have been Tesla. But, even he was smart enough to realize what an asshole Edison was, even if he didn't recognize the Edison in himself.

Musk didn't name Tesla, did he? I'm pretty sure he bought it, like he buys every company. He's not a good idea guy.

Considering that they use DC internally Tesla was never a good name.
