Elon may have learned lessons from Enron, actually. Elon has noticeably started up 3 separate private companies now, outside of Tesla, right? Similar to what Enron did with separate companies they used to help bid things up btw. Bear with me. So what happens if the AI company, and Space-X, and Twitter/X -- any one of them, or possibly all of them, have employees who do work that is considered "Tesla work" but they do it while in the capacity of logging hours and working at one of those Private Companies? Well, that means Tesla gets "free labor" off-the-books (the public Tesla books). That gives an appearance that TSLA has great cost-control measures and has decent margins compared to other Auto Companies. Getting the picture?
