Electric-Car Pioneer Elon Musk Charges Head-On at Detroit
When Elon Musk, who loudly disdains the traditional auto industry, makes his first public appearance in Detroit in two years on Tuesday, it will be easy to see how much has changed since then, The Wall Street Journal says in a new post.
In a speech Tuesday at an auto-show event, Musk is expected to criticize larger auto makers for not responding to Tesla even more aggressively. He denounces the rest of the industry as only halfheartedly trying to produce battery-powered cars for the masses, not just early adopters.
The Journal says Tesla is worth $26 billion in stock-market value, nearly half the size of GM or Ford Motor Co.
