Tesla just settled with the SEC. Musk is stepping down as CEO. Hopefully that doesn’t kill Tesla.

Musk actually sold off most of assets of the solar business he bought from his cousin. The chinese had effectively made it unprofitable for most american solar manufacturers to stay in business. All that’s left of that solar company company is a solar rooftop maker and installer.

After President Trump slapped a 25% tarriff on Chinese solar panels last year the Chinese dropped the price of their solar panels by 25% —mooting the tariff.

The upside of this is that solar is now cheaper than gas/coal. This is good if you believe that lower energy costs are at the heart of advances in civilization. And bad if you believe that the US needs to be energy dominant—as is the president’s policy priority—in every energy category including solar. Not just oil/gas/coal.

Learn something about the threat to America’s bread and butter—our invention machine that is posed by the Chinese.
According to this article President Trump described Michael Pillsbury as the leading authority on China.
