The tension was palpable when the Socceroos survived by the skin of their teeth in a game against Syria, securing the slimmest chance of making it to the World Cup.

There’s a proverb that states, “Lightning never strikes the same place twice.” Yet, in the case of Tesla Inc. and its lightning-fast CEO, Elon Musk, this doesn’t seem to be accurate. It’s undeniable: Tesla has been struck not once, not twice, but multiple times, with controversies and wavering sales.
