These folks aren't stupid....


Maybe I better pay more attention to this floundering company. My take is that Musk is trying to build too many money losing businesses at once... a battery company - a solar energy company - a space flight company - and a car company that can't make a profit and can't deliver cars on order... but WTH.... he's selling stuff! And investors keep buying the debt.
One of my customers is looking to start running electric trucks in his oil transport business. Oh the Irony.

But its going to a real thing in California with all our regulations. And the overall scope of the oil business is already changing in a huge way to get the oil companies out of California while still pumping the oil.
