Interesting Documentary - How Big Oil Conquered the World

This is a documentary from Corbett Report, ya I know, some of you, well, I don't claim anything, except that I find the "information" presented worthy of "analysis", not speculation and CT.

I find it interesting because, according to BloombergGadfly, Big Oil should be afraid of Tesla:

Oil prices may be on the floor, but we still use a lot of the stuff -- and Big Oil still rakes in billions from that. So why should it be scared of Tesla, which makes electric vehicles hardly anyone can afford and burns cash like you burn through a tank of gas? Because unlike the oil behemoths, investors can’t wait to give Tesla more of their money. Click on the video below to see more.

I was actually doing a search on Google, about Nicholas Tesla, stupid me, I forgot to "qualify" my search by using his first name. Any way I clicked on the article, more like a (GadFly?) quick "post" and video clip embed.

So big oil needs to be afraid of Tesla motors....after watching this documentary last night, I now have more information to understand what's behind this fear, from one mouth piece (Bloomberg) of the 1%.

But of course there's News Week with a click bait worthy head line, How Elon Musk Is Using Tesla to Kill Big Oil

I haven't spent much time looking into this so if others have links, references, would be much appreciated.

at the point that musk is able to implement an ubiquitous infrastructure of charging stations (much like the infrastructure of gas stations) and can mass produce electric cars, either in his own factories or by licensing his technology to traditional auto makers.
