I once sat next to a VW Executive on a plane and before he revealed his job we talke about electric cars and I started rambling about all the failings of the big german car makers.
After that he revealed is employer and basically gave a counter “argument" that boiled down to “VW does not need to worry as it is literally to big to fail" - luckily by that point we were about to land and leave the plane.
A couple of years later I feel I wasn't too far off with my rant.
