Tony Stark continues his empire building...

[botsapper]

Elon Musk' Tesla buys Elon Musk's SolarCity in a unifying bid to control sustainable energy and EV transportation industries. Elon Musk was a co-founder of SolarCity and sits on the board. He plans to acquire all of the outstanding shares of SolarCity's common stock in exchange for Tesla's common shares instead of paying cash. SolarCity was kinda of stumbling so it was relatively easier to acquire. The stock-swap is about 20-30% over today's SolarCity closing price. Their value at 2.7-2.8 billion dollars. Saving face or a family-friendly take-over. https://techcrunch.com/2016/06/21/teslacity/

So why does the title say Tony Stark, when the article is about Elon Musk?

Ironman's Tony Stark, a fictional genius tech engineer industrialist superhero billionaire has been modeled and compared to Elon Musk, a real life genius tech engineer industrialist 'superhero' billionaire. A funny scene to make that connection...and about that electric jet...

OK, I know what the Ironman (Ironmen, since there are many?) is, though I've never done one. Or are you talking about the old comic books from when I was a kid? Maybe as long ago as the sixties?

Yes, thank you for the translation. Now if I could just figure out why it's supposed to be funny...
