Under Appreciated Contribution of Elon Musk – The Tesla Mafia

2 years ago

The level of talent that Musk has been able to cultivate at his companies is immense. Many of them, who have risen to executive levels, have left to build their own ventures. These ventures have now collectively raised a staggering $40+ Billion.

Sweden based Northvolt, which is a battery developer and manufacturer, specializing in lithium-ion technology for electric vehicles, sits on top of the cartel with over $13.8B in funding.

Other unicorns from the group include Lucid Motors, Redwood Materials, Aurora and Proterra.

All the founders have been involved in either a founding role or C-suite level positions.
