Elon Musk and Richard Branson on entrepreneurship

Took all of my will power to tear myself away from this vid and share the link with everyone. Still watching but it's been great so far.

Still can't understand yesterday's pop in TSLA stock after posting non-GAAP positive EPS when GAAP was actually a loss.

Uhhh, because it's common in the automotive industry to realize leases as full sales, a practice done with frequency outside of Tesla? And it's only a story now because haters are trying to find ways to hate on the stock now that your list of arguments is starting to dwindle down.

 

Read up on Elon Musk yesterday and what that guy is doing with both Tesla and SpaceX is pretty impressive. With Tesla, I believe they solved the three key issues holding back electric cars:

  1. Range
  2. Charging time
  3. Reputation

Provided they can continue to lower charging times and roll out the charger network, once they start trading down to midprice cars they can explode.

You should check out how lean they are managing SpaceX. Some snippets:

Most efficient American rocket engine ever produced Lightest and cheapest (relative to engine output/size) turbopump (key rocket engine component) ever

As for Branson: legend
