I understand the legalities of how they're separate, what I'm saying is if the "cross-fertilization" approach between the two companies proliferates to the point where they are material to each other's operations, w

The above helpful comments being said, my question now is, how long is he going to be able to run these companies separately without a shareholder revolt saying they should be put under one roof to create more value for the investors in Tes

Can somebody clear this up; is "The Boring Company" it's own entity, or is it a division of Tesla?

This seemed to be the case but after the recent earnings report Bezos & Co. hinted that they are likely to go back to losing money now. https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/27/it-looks-like-amazon-would...

Do you trust a Facebook camera on your kitchen counter/night stand/living room table? I feel like they haven't done much for themselves(in terms of branding) as a privacy-friendly company to the point where technophobes are g

I would argue against that, I couldn't think of anything more powerful in an industry than a company that could use it's tens of billions of dollars in operating profit annually to fund their efforts to dominate ride-sharing as we

It would be a prospective purchase in regards to autonomous driving software but Uber holds a current dominating market share in ride-sharing. They could potentially single-handedly create fear of an information monopoly and be the impetus

"Google is going to increase or fully acquire Uber." Talk about a "God's View", they'd be literally begging for regulator's attention if they tried buying Uber

Definitely, I feel like it's partially just a question of what a full-stack 21st/22nd century auto company is going to be worth once the dust settles after the autonomous car wars. If it still means producing close to 10 million c

Relative to the companies their stock is being compared against I'd say I'm still pretty impressed with their lithium-ion production plans.

Listing current financial metrics compared to incumbent automakers kind of misses the point on Tesla. Not that it isn't "overvalued" (might be the most ambiguous word in investing) but Tesla's annualized GM is ~8% better

By "even though all they've really done", I mean most of those achievements could be replicated by supermarkets without spending 18% of their revenue on marketing. They coined the "costly middleman" term in this sce

Welcome to the modern news cycle, where alternative realities are only a click away! Sit back and enjoy your daily deluge into the fantasies of some revenue-pressured writer seeking to capitalize on the latest zeitgeists us citizens consume

I am very curious what Salzberg has to say about this. They do seem to have done a good job out-maneuvering the direct competition. However, looking through their website, it does seem hard to find a niche they can play when the inevitable

More than their entire R&D budget for 2016....I sure hope they have something up their sleeves...

Wow. It doesn't tell you fully how they actually do it, but I'm still a little surprised they put that out there

I think the 10-20% discounts based on keeping 3-5 items is one point of appeal. Also the fact that you are the one choosing the items in the box as opposed to having a "stylist" choose them for you could be considered appealing (d

Not a good day to be Stitch Fix... Classic Amazon/Google move, take away the easy appeal and marginalize the growing competitor, forcing them to innovate if they're going to find a role.

How much R&D does Casper do in developing their mattresses? Seems like they're more of a marketing experiment than a "bedtime is back" sleep revolution.

Would be very curious to see if this is, in fact, a play to get into other industries via the backdoor by reimaging the whole foods layout. Seems odd on the surface to pay a premium for a Grocery store with slowing growth at a time when riv
