I WENT TO A MICROCAR SHOW IN GEORGIA THIS WEEKEND .

I AM PRETTY MUCH OFF THE GRID WHEN I AM OUT OF TOWN AND SOMEONE
AT BREAKFAST THIS MORNING GOT THE NEWS ON HIS PHONE THAT ELIO
HAD GONE UNDER .

HE MADE A FEW JOKES ABOUT PEOPLE WITH THE $1000 TEE SHIRTS .

I HAD NO WAY TO CHECK UP ON THIS UNTIL THIS EVENING .
SO NOW I AM HOME AND CAN FIND NO SUCH RUMORS OT STORIES ON LINE .

WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT ALL ABOUT ?
IS THERE SOME SORT OF AN UGLY RUMOR MILL OUT THERE
OR WAS LARRY NEWBERRY JUST TRYING TO START ONE ON HIS OWN ?

not long ago some folks who are prone to seeing doom and gloom were bemoaning the fact there was no proof of having a running engine .... according to them it EM would just prove they had a running engine that all would be right with the world .... it came and that lasted for a couple of minutes .... they moved on to EM not having a running prototype .... if they just had running prototype investments would roll in and all would be right with the world .... when that day arrives, all will be good for a couple of minutes and they will move on to something else .... the reality is, neither those who have no doubts as to the successful or unsuccessful conclusion of the project have facts to prove their point .... the only folks who may know are Paul and his inner circle .... all of the rest of us are guessing .... my guess is they will succeed

I read this earlier today, and ever since then a song keeps playing in my head by REO Speed Wagon
<<...music..acoustic guitar strumming....>
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another that the little car is gone......

And

"Talk is cheap if a story is good..."

And the whole songs point is, "don't always believe what you hear........"
Hearsay is not proof.

Go ahead. Keep feeding your psychosis.
Facts are facts you can hide your head in the sand or you can face them. Facing them is the first step in fixing the problem.
ELIO is flat broke right now and has little chance of pulling out of it. Not impossible but getting hard each few weeks.
At least I did step up and go $1000 all in in support of the ELIO.

And at least you didn't lower yourself to returning the favor by insulting the poster you responded to. I gotta respect that.
There are better ways to indicate that you have an conflicting opinion than telling someone they have a psychosis.

Fact:
: something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence
: a true piece of information

Why is it that some people are instantly willing to accept anything as truth without a shred of real evidence?
Why is it that some people are willing to believe people that are known to make up stories in an attempt cause them emotional suffering?
Why is it that some people can't resist spreading unsubstantiated rumors?
Why are some people so gullible?
