Tesla CEO, Elon Musk

The Tesla logo is actually the cross-section of an engine invented by Nikola Tesla

Tesla tells its employees that it should ignore rules that don’t make sense or are useless.

In mid-2020, Tesla overtook Toyota as the world’s most valuable car company while having 1/10th of the revenue and selling 1/30th of the cars.

Even though they are growing so quickly, 2020 was the first year that Tesla ever made a profit, which was around $720 million while Apple makes $50 billion.

Google almost bought Tesla for $11 billion. Right before the deal closed, Tesla started doing really well and Elon Musk decided that they were good.

Elon Musk wasn’t actually the one that founded Tesla. It was actually created by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning and then Elon Musk came in later as an investor.

Elon Musk is only the second person in Silicon Valley to take 3 different companies (PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla) to multi-billion dollar valuations.

Tesla has crazy new vehicles coming out including Semi, Cybertruck, Cyberquad, and Roadster.

Have you heard of the Tesla Bot? The recently announced human-like robot by Tesla is meant to replace boring, repetitive tasks instead of humans.

The Model S is so strong that instead of being the car that broke, the crash-testing gear broke.

Tesla is worth more than the 10 next largest car makers put together.
