Risky Business        <\/p>\n<p>      Tesla      seems set on taking over the world, and after their      most recent market surge, they might be on      track to do it  that is, if the supposedly inflated      financial bubble theyre in doesnt, well, burst.    <\/p>\n<p>      This month, Teslas market cap hit a value of $51 billion,      which was higher than General Motors at the time and $15      billion higher than Teslas own value in 2016. While Elon Musk disagrees, in the eyes of many      experts, the company isovervalued, perhaps      dangerously so.    <\/p>\n<p>      Tesla will undoubtedly, as any company does, face roadblocks      in new design and innovation. While they will most likely      continue to produce incredibly popular, inventive, and      successful vehicle models, some say the overvalued bubble in      which they currently reside is heading for bursting.    <\/p>\n<p>      For Tesla to keep up with its upward-trending market value,      they will need to continue innovating at the tremendous rate      that they have been.    <\/p>\n<p>      From designing the first autonomous semi truckto driving down the price of their      electric vehicles      (EVs), Tesla has been keeping pace with, and moving      ahead of, customer requests and demands. However, with      other EV optionscosting a fraction      of a Tesla vehicle, the company will have to get even further      ahead of the game in terms of innovation if they want to      maintain their value.    <\/p>\n<p>      Elon Musk and his team arent the only ones hoping for      Teslas continued success. If Tesla were to go under or begin      to fail financially, more than just a luxury car company      would suffer SpaceX, Neuralink, the Gigafactory, and more would be at      risk of feeling the hit. The future of space travel and      exploration, the advancement of alternative energy sources      and usage, and the fight against climate change hang in the      balance, so lets all hope that this bubble doesnt burst.    <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the rest here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-age-of-elon-can-tesla-really-take-over-the-world\/\" title=\"The Age of Elon: Can Tesla Really Take Over the World? - Futurism\">The Age of Elon: Can Tesla Really Take Over the World? - Futurism<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In Brief Tesla's market cap was recently announced to be $51 billion, higher than both GM and Ford's and a steep increase from their value in 2016.
