Given Elon Musk’s dubious track record for reaching his goals, it may be a roll of the dice whether the Tesla CEO delivers a profit this year. His success will depend partly on money from Nevada casinos. Since 2015, his Palo Alto company has boosted its bottom line by selling tax credits to casinos such as the MGM Grand. The casinos use the credits, purchased at a discount, to lower the gambling taxes they pay the state. Tesla uses the proceeds to ease its losses or increase its profit. Читать дальше...
