What is the point of this article? It reads like you are trying to imply something nefarious or unscrupulous between SpaceX and Tesla - in reality it's obvious that employees will have overlapping skills. Considering the importance of the Demo 2 mission it should be applauded!

What is the negative angle CNBC and the reporter is trying to go after in this report? I am guessing the idea is to show some possibility of fraud without explicitly stating it. All for $100K?

I once saw a brand new Tesla stranded beside a road,i thought it had broken down-then I realised quickly it ran out of battery while on a long trip. May be elonmusk & Tesla will next build space satellites to charge such stranded cars from space through wireless charging

Who cares?

As a shareholder of Tesla - Not only do I not mind this, but I encourage it. There are many companies/industries where cross collaboration works, and Tesla & SpaceX are probably better equipped to handle this successfully more than anyone else.
