Yes they do and I didn't say they shouldn't post and or report. I implied it was negative to Elio and I don't understand that kind of speculative debate as an Elio fan.
A thought to ponder.
'Deductive reasioning' leads me to believe that this new Whattheelf poster is paid by some one to Trash Paul Elio,and our belief that this will happen. He has posted 41 long mess. since this last Monday, this is Wed., three days. Does he not eat/ sleep, or do things ordinary people do? Is it possible that some one out there is getting scared of what Paul Elio can/will do??
Some where I mentioned that this forum was going to be 'A Hell of a Ride" just like when I ride my Elio home from La.

Yup. I believe that he is being paid by, or is heavily vested in, alternative...whatever. I understand too, that automakers do not want to see advancements in tech that are "too big". "Planned obsolescence" is real. The posted link about the death of the Aptera was quite enlightening, too. If you want to watch an enlightening documentary, watch " GASHOLE " http://www.gasholemovie.com/

That was more or less my point too................42 posts and would have been only 1 or 2 had the original post been totally ignored by Elio fans. These negative anti-Elio posters probably have connections to or hired by big oil. When the next one rears their ugly head just Ignore the negative, speculative BS and they might go away.

Snipped: This is a "funding alternatives" thread, not a "fan" thread. The "discussion" centers on funding, if, how, when, and probability of it even happening.
*******************************************************************************************************
So far the team has poorly executed on securing only 1/4 of the funding they were already supposed to have, with zero news or updates from them.

For someone who says he's been involved in high finance, you're positing a straw man. You know for a fact that Elio is involved in securing funding & thereby have signed "non-disclosure" agreements. Elio can't reveal the current amount & status of their initiative even if they wanted too. The placement apparently is closed, so you'll just have to wait like the rest of us great unwashed for the IPO.............

With my direct experience within startups, and negotiating at each round of funding, yes while NDAs may be part of securing funding, usually to add credibility to a launch of a critical product, or to repair a damaged history, such as here, often its to a company's advantage to announce when they secure funding, to secure greater interest and confidence. It is not uncommon whatsoever to see funding hit multiple press releases. To withhold such information, at this point, is another bad sign. I'll have to locate the CNBC interview I believe where Paul puts the blame on bankers not cooperating, was fairly recent, which also was neither wise, nor productive.

Paul IS an engineer... hope his financial guy(s) is(are) on their game.

First, on Bankers, they are very low on the respect scale since 2008. The bottom line is just that. When the current round is secured, i.e. "when" It will be trumpeted to the hills for sure. More likely will be the evidence of it by fulfillment of the testing schedule & further progress @ the plant..............
