But they haven’t yet, and if you don’t think they are connected you are naive.

I have a couple of friends who were executives for SpaceX. They know Elon personally. SpaceX employees are encouraged to drive Tesla’s and are given steep discounts. Elon Musk devotes a significant amount of time running all of his businesses and spends time at each regularly. There is intellectual interface between each business guided by Mr. Musk. It’s all about getting to and colonizing Mars. At some point Tesla with become monetized to support that. My friends said Mr. Musk’s long vision of the value of Tesla is in its database that supports self-driving cars. That will be sold as as subscription service to others vehicle makers and will be much more of a money maker than building cars ever could be.

It will be interesting to see how and if this comes to pass but I would not bet against Elon Musk. He has not only broken into two industries seen as very difficult if not impossible to succeed in by an outsider, but has come to dominate them in a very short period of time relatively speaking.
