A counter example to this.
Started in 2003 as an electric vehicle company. Decided it also was a clean energy company. Now wants to be a robot company. Also, a personal bank for Elon.

What a loss!
Note: I actually began work on one. I had a Field Note I began as a draft of it (was meant to be that size). Maybe a time to revisit that idea.
