But why is individual liberty more important than collective thinking? Many places do very well with collectivism. I'm not sure you can just say it's better without evidence. I think it depends on many factors whether individualism or collectivism is best for a particular location and problem.
If only it weren't run by a narcissist, Tesla might have been even better. Imagine a world with the reliability of Toyota but using Tesla drivetrain technology! Instead, we have a whiny man child who limits that great drivetrain to a handful of models of unreliable cars built in a way that's much more harmful to the humans on the assembly line due to poor manufacturing engineering. It's really sad, to me.
