Musk’s SpaceX tumbles back to Earth, dragging Tesla stock down with it

| The Philadelphia Inquirer Verified
It seemed to be only good news for Elon Musk and investors in companies he oversees. SpaceX had marked a record-setting IPO, Musk was the first trillionaire in history, and the rocket company vaulted to an all-time high of more than $225 per share. That was last month. Since then, their fortunes have shifted. Musk has shed hundreds of billions in wealth, demoting him from trillionaire status, and SpaceX’s stock price has been cut practically in half.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes.

What does it mean to be a journalist?

Never again picking up a newspaper, watching a broadcast news segment or scrolling through your Twitter feed without scrutinizing every word.

How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I like to find my own, usually. I like to notice something that's worth writing about and then chase it.
