@arzi I guess it could be worse though. Just think Tom Clancy.

@markuslatvala I have to admit I know next to nothing about Tom Clancy, except his name being featured in a bunch of morally dubious military shooters.

@arzi The games also got really bad and unrealistic. Basically the opposite of what the books were.

@markuslatvala Well I think being associated with bad games that have little to nothing to do with your work is still better than your name being used for murderous money making machine for an evil nazi billionaire.

@arzi I guess. Tesla inc. has been mostly a good thing though. It's just the CEO that is a spitting image of Dr. Evil.
