Musk and those original executives have had their tussles over the years. In fact, tensions between Musk and Eberhard led to a 2009 lawsuit and settlement. That settlement found that Musk could call himself a co-founder of the company, alongside Eberhard, Tarpenning, JB Straubel, and Ian Wright.

The throwback drive-in, conceived years ago when the world's richest man was still a Los Angeles hometown hero, bows in a radically different era.

When Elon Musk’s highly anticipated Tesla Diner opened its doors in Los Angeles on July 21, it garnered significant media attention, with customers lining up for hours to try chef Eric Greenspan’s pie shakes and classic burgers served in Cybertruck-shaped boxes. This past weekend, however, the lines looked a little different.

Wall Street may be skeptical about Tesla’s upcoming quarters, but CEO Elon Musk made four surprising announcements that could be game-changers — if they prove true.

Tesla shares are falling after CEO Elon Musk warned of “a few rough quarters” as the company shifts focus to offering a self-driving taxi service.

Tesla revenue dropped 12%, and profits slumped 16% in the three months through June as buyers continued to steer clear, and in some cases, turn to more affordable competitors' offerings.

A woman was injured at Elon Musk’s newly opened Tesla diner in Hollywood when a piece of patio furniture fell on her head, the woman’s husband told TMZ. Valentina, 21, and her husband George—who did not reveal their last name—were dining on the rooftop patio and had just received their food when an outdoor patio covering came loose and “brutally” struck Valentina in the head.

The fallout from Elon Musk’s plunge into politics a year ago is still hammering his Tesla business as both sales and profits fell sharply again in the latest quarter.
