You are probably already aware, but SMT holds 0.6% of SpaceX.

Not sure who/which funds increased holdings at the last round of fundraising.

I was so close to buying into Tesla when they were at 290 but people were putting me off with things like "when the "big boys" like VW and Toyota get into EV's, nobody is going to buy Teslas over them". Still kicking myself to this day. Arghhhhh

I bet Mercedes Benz (Daimler) wished they still held the 9% of Tesla stock they once had!!

(they, Daimler, saved Tesla after the 2008 financial crash)

And Toyota sold all of the 2.3M Tesla shares it had in 2016.
(Tesla made the RAV4 electric powertrain).

That's a lot of capex to fund.

No, I wasn't aware thanks, I was looking but obviously not hard enough. (I do own a fair chunk of SMT as do my kids and grandkids (in JISAs for the latter) 

And just for the avoidance of doubt, that is the correct way round? 

 SMT own 0.6% of Sx rather than 0.6% of SMT is Sx ?
