There's a lot more to it than that though. Telsa is a huge achievement already. They've not only created cars that a lot of people love, they disrupted and accelerated an entire industry.
Not to mention SpaceX.
- bduerst 8y agoOh I agree, but Tesla's value seems to be in the IP at the moment, not automobile production. That's why VW would have been such an ideal partner, because VW knows mass automobile production (but Musk nixed it). SpaceX is great too but I would say it's still a little too early to say it's as successful as Paypal was.
