    Er, well he did still succeed though and accomplish something existing car companies with billions and billions could or would not. Also, this is besides the point.

      He failed miserably. Pending bankruptcy is not success. DARPA succeeded by funding him until he got a product that could make money. DARPA is the U.S. government. It’s me and other taxpayers. All the money he makes now is because the government spent money cushioning his fall so that he could survive. He’s just a face propped up to represent American technology.
