Part 1 of Musk’s masterplan was revealed back in 2006, where he vowed to create a sports car as well as an affordable electric car.
This latest tweet may have renewed interest in the tech-firm, leading to a rise in shares, and for Tesla’s sake this has couldn’t have come at a better time, following the headline-grabbing story of its autopilot feature supposedly leading to a crash.
Musk has also faced adversity following a proposed merger with a solar panel provider.
