Tesla Announces $500M Common Stock Offering
So here's a thought.  If I have lots of businesses with a high chance of failure, and I bring them under one roof, any one business is more likely to destroy my entire company.  So if I have two high-risk businesses (electric cars and energy storage) having both in the same company greatly increase the total company's chance of insolvency and failure.<p>On a higher level, I LOVE Elon Musk, but what made Steve Jobs so great is that he could innovate like crazy and make gobs of cash.  Right now, Elon is innovating, but his companies are really struggling to even sniff profitability.
