    "Tesla is a drama magnet." Ain't it the truth. So why does Elon do it? Some on easy street might wonder. Why does Musk, Chief Executive, of two competitive companies divvy up his time between SpaceX and Tesla. They're like siblings. The elder for this article's purpose being SpaceX. The favored...

    Tesla reports Q4 2017 earnings and forecasts growth for 2018. This after managing a rough and tumble manufacturing year with Model 3.

    Tesla & Companies Turkey Talks

    It was very disheartening to me learning SpaceX represented by Elon Musk has entered into contractual agreements with Turkey to launch satellites and is in apparent car business talks. Which means Tesla's brand may become a part of Turkish culture. A blemish on Turkey's history is the Armenian...

    SpaceX and Turkey. Really, Elon?

    Precisely why I see this as a not so great long term option. Sure ideological differences shouldn't exclude joint business participation BUT where will SpaceX, Tesla & affiliates draw the line? What will or won't they stand for? Here in the U.S. and abroad.

    SpaceX and Turkey. Really, Elon?

    Surprised there's not more chatter on here about this. Have to say, long term, I don't like it. Although it has lucrative appeal. Elon Musk says he's not in it for profit. Then why is Turkey necessary in expanding internationally? How does a country whose politics (current and historical) are a...
