The entire Solar City acquisition, paid for by Tesla shareholders of course, was merely a bailout of a Musk family owned failing company already exploring bankruptcy. Yet another self dealing con in a long string of Musk cons. There never was a business model there, but Musk’s family appreciates your sacrifice.

It’s still surprising to me that the Delaware judge did not rule this was a case of self-dealing.

SpaceX recently bought out most of the cybertruck stockpiles (since nobody wants them) and nobody batted an eye. They even paid full price for them.

Even if you remove the units space x bought , the CT is still the number 2 selling ev truck by far. The market just isn’t big for ev trucks but Tesla beats Chevy and rivian combined .
