When it comes to Tesla cars, many people will naturally think of Musk. Indeed, under the leadership of “madman” Musk, Tesla ushered in the best development opportunity in the history of automobiles. And Tesla, which sells less than one million vehicles a year, is indeed the world’s largest car company by market value, and it doesn’t sound like ordinary magic.
Although Musk has now become Tesla’s business card, the founder is not Musk, and the origin of Tesla’s name is also very interesting. It was not invented by Tesla itself, but cost 75,000 Dollars are coming to someone else’s door.
Musk revealed in an interview that they didn’t come up with the name “Tesla Motors”, and they didn’t have it. The name Tesla Motors is owned by a man in Sacramento, and Musk sent one of the company’s best people to sit at his door and said he wouldn’t leave until he agreed to sell it to us. Ultimately, the man agreed to sell the name, for which Tesla paid $75,000.
But now, Tesla’s latest market value has reached $866.4 billion, ranking first among the world’s car companies. Compared with the $75,000 spent on buying a name, it can be described as an extremely successful investment.
What’s more worth mentioning is that under the leadership of Musk, Tesla’s stock price is still rising like a “rocket”. In the future, we will wait and see whether Tesla’s market value can surpass that of Apple and Microsoft.
