Those who follow this blog will have noticed that I was unable to write a post for last weekend. The title of today's post explains why. I suddenly find my occupational skills to be in very high demand - which is a good thing as it helps me to buy groceries! However, I will try to have a post for this coming weekend. In the meantime, here is a link to a fascinating article exposing the actual basis of the 2020 profits of the Tesla corporation. The linked source, along with others, points out that Elon Musk's company has been unable to this day to be profitable on its own by selling its own cars. The only thing that has helped the company post profits recently is the selling of carbon credits. This is interesting, because Musk has built a PR campaign over the last year to portray himself as a smart, cutting-edge businessman and intellectual. (See this also.) Beware of celebrity culture; you know the old warning about all that glitters...
