Just my guess, but SpaceX will not go public until manned Dragon
missions are routine. Space X is Musk back up if TSLA were to fail badly, due to GM and oil companies efforts to gain upper hand in EVs. Musk had better have looked into being able to change his NV Battery production and battery type options, as battery tech needs huge capital investments to remain compete. Li-Sulfur batteries are latest tech to look like they can beat standard Li-ion format in price, if they can be developed further.
Musk solar cell production could be 3-D printed in space, using asteroid mining. Solar Farms in Space would be useful for industrialization powering and robotic private experimental
siting. Imagine the plastic balloon cocoon would also be useful in this, as non-manned robotic tended labs exclusive.
Musk may only be able to survive by starting into 3-D auto body printing and as well use the tech in solar cell and battery production. GM 'appears' to be trying to get TSLA unionized, so he can be 'controlled'.
TSLA solar may not be able to get much ME and Africa solar cell contracts as an alternative strategy (if Trump goes against alternative tech). And . . . no one seems to know how this Trump economy will 'work out' for USA domestically . . . note that retail, etc. investors are quite confused as to whether to buy or sell 52 week highs.
As Musk 'sells' his next model people's low-cost EV online for reservation by small cash down-payments . . . will be have to set aside these monies and not have access to them (say for 'emergencies')?
