    Blood Rivalry Over Electric Cars Now Fueled by a Billion Taxpayer Dollars

    Legalizing Electric-Car Kingpin's 'Founder' Fetish

    Tesla CEO Elon Musk likes to call himself "founder" of companies he didn't actually start. This weird fetish has never been fully safe and legal, until now: The real founder of Tesla Motors is dropping his lawsuit and granting permission. More »

    Elon Musk Wants Another Obama Bailout

    Elon Musk is becoming a welfare case. Federal auto-industry loans helped save his electric-car company, Tesla. Now Musk wants another federal bailout for his embarrassing space startup. And he may well get it. More »

    Tesla's Precarious Reprieve

    Huge infusions of money would seem to have helped Tesla Motors: the electric-car startup has escaped a bitter lawsuit from founder Martin Eberhard and finally sited a power-train factory — and that's just this week. But other fights loom. More »

    This Man Founded Everything (And So Did You)

    Elon Musk has a very loose definition of the word "founder." The Tesla CEO calls himself a PayPal founder; he isn't. He calls himself a Tesla founder; today a court begins hearings over whether he should stop saying that. More »

    Tesla Now Worth Less Than Twitter
