This Week in Musk World

Popular Mechanics came out with a feature In Defense of Elon Musk. The "arguments" basically come down to Musk is a genius who does things that benefit society. Not everyone was happy with the Popular Mechanics "love letter" though. I think I fall in the Popular Mechanics camp. I'm happy I live in the same country as Elon Musk.

Tesla's revenue is even ore impressive when you consider there are as many as 16 states where you can't buy a Tesla. Some even have laws making Tesla dealerships illegal. The good news is Tesla now has a mid-range lower price Model 3 available online for about $35,000. That price is after tax incentive savings. Seems really easy to order too.

Once you have a Tesla getting it fixed seems to be a problem though. Musk admits that official Tesla service coverage is an issue. Maybe if those 16 states allowed Tesla dealerships this would be less of an issue. And since most of the problems seem to be cosmetic or accident related why not focus on auto body repair shops?

In other Musk World news - Elon Musk actually doesn't deny this transaction is happening. Is he actually buying Fortnite? Turn into the next episode of Musk World to find out!
