Last week Tesla left the automotive world stunned during the presentation (with nine years of delays) of the Tesla Roadster. A roadster is, by definition, a two-seater, lightweight, and sporty car, a type of vehicle quite far from the car that Tesla presented. But setting aside that point, the passing of days and the evolution of events have made it clear that the presentation of the first flying car has been a great smoke screen intended to divert the public's attention from what is really important: Tesla makes money (less than Musk would like) while SpaceX does not. And Musk's plan to solve this mess is to propose the merger of the two companies into one.

Elon Musk has reason to celebrate. Nine years after its announcement, Tesla has finally shown the first images and technical capabilities of the Roadster, the American brand's electric two-seater sports car. In fact, the first Tesla Roadster was presented in 2006, taking advantage of the Lotus Elise base in force at that time, but transforming it into an electric car. Tesla sold about 2,000 units of the first Roadster between 2008 and 2012, before ceasing production and turning it into a car highly coveted by collectors, especially after SpaceX (a company also under Musk's control) placed one into solar orbit in 2018 as part of the Falcon Heavy rocket's maiden voyage.
