Elon Musk's impossible dream - to make a desirable, sustainable, mass market electric car - has become a multibillion dollar reality in Tesla - the most valuable automative company in the world.

Today, with a market valuation of $630 billion, Tesla's shares are worth more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Daimler, and General Motors combined.

To many he embodies the “contemporary electric car zeitgeist” to some he is an underdog, to others an anti-hero or a conman – what’s certain is that few people understand Elon Musk and Tesla better than Wall Street tech and automotive journalist Tim Higgins, who shares his OMI with Richard Kilgarriff.
