Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as obsessed with Tesla and Elon Musk's empire as I am, you've probably heard the latest bombshell from Bloomberg: Tesla generated over half a billion dollars in revenue last year by selling products to two of Elon's other companies – SpaceX and xAI. That's $573 million, to be exact. But hold up – it's not all Cybertrucks (which would be wild). Let's unpack this step by step, do some quick math, and figure out what it means for Tesla's inventory woes.
Bloomberg reports that this massive figure covers Tesla products shipped to SpaceX and xAI. Drilling down:
We always suspected some Cybertrucks were heading to Elon's other ventures (think employee perks or fleet vehicles), but now we have the receipts. No more guessing games!
Let's crunch the numbers for fun. Assuming an average Cybertruck price of around $90,000–$100,000 (depending on trim and options):
That's a lot of stainless-steel beasts zipping over to SpaceX launch pads or xAI data centers. Pretty epic visual, right?
Remember when Tesla was sitting on a pile of unsold Cybertrucks? This inter-company shuffle looks like a clever way to clear inventory. And get this – right after, they dropped a cheaper Cybertruck model, and demand has exploded. Sales are strong now.
Was this a desperate move, or some next-level financial wizardry across Elon's portfolio? Above my pay grade, but it's fascinating to watch. Tesla's not just building cars; it's fueling the entire Musk ecosystem.
