"“Elon Musk is an engineer, and so he treats raising capital as one element that he needs to solve,” said Andrea James, a former analyst" How is Musk an engineer? Musk has a degree in physics and economics according to Wikipedia. At least where I'm from, you don't call yourself or someone else an engineer if you didn't go to engineering school.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
At least where I'm from, you don't call yourself or someone else an engineer if you didn't go to engineering school. What Musk was doing 25 years ago when he was at university isn't important any more. Are we supposed to just ignore the 25 years of experience he's gained since? It's very simple: if he does engineering then he is an engineer, regardless of what degree he holds.
> if he does engineering Does he, though? He's CEO if 4 companies IIRC. I would be very surprised if that leaves you any time at all to do stuff that qualifies as engineering (in the traditional sense; not in the bullshit uptitling sense; "software engineer" is only one step from "ninja rockstar").
WTF. Criticism regarding Teslas prospects, cash flow and viability as a company may all be valid. But the ridiculous animation and the live cash counter immediately take all credibility away for me. What credible news source would present a financial news article in this way?

They also had one of the best 404 pages, which I would use as an example when teaching HTTP responses (how a server could still serve what seems like a normal page even as its status code was a 404). Sadly, it's now gone, but Internet Archive has a snapshot:
