One Step Forward Two Steps Back

It seems like for every piece of good news Elon gets, it's followed by two pieces of bad news. Tesla's recent production accomplishment of reaching 5000 Model 3's a week has been overshadowed by a leaked memo that revealed the electric car manufacturer has been asking third party suppliers to return money for incomplete projects. Definitely not a good sign for investors. However, Elon clarified the situation with a tweet that basically said none of that refunded money will actually help its upcoming earnings report. Tesla reps insist the report will still be positive. Also, Elon attended the 3rd Hyperloop pod competition where teams of university student engineers presented their designs for people pods. The winning design will be used in the hyperloop transportation system that Elon's boring company is currently building. One design had a top speed of 290 mph, just 30 mph slower than a bullet train. The future is fast.
