Manufacturing has long been a cornerstone of economic growth, but as globalization surged in the 1980s and 1990s, American corporations prioritized cost-cutting by moving production overseas. Between 2000 and 2010, this strategy led to a staggering decline in domestic manufacturing jobs, with nearly a third of the workforce displaced due to outsourcing and automation. While most companies accepted this as an inevitable consequence of free trade and technological progress, Elon Musk took a different…-

On the Brink of collapse in early 2008, Tesla found itself celebrating a small yet highly symbolic achievement—the successful production of its first Tesla Roadster, codenamed "P1," at its Palo Alto facility.
