The remark came after one of Musk's companies, EV maker Tesla Motors, agreed to pay $2.6bn in stock for one of Musk's other companies, energy service provider SolarCity. So while "world's first" may need clarification, we can probably agree that Tesla - SolarCity will do things differently. We can assume that, much like our perpetual example of Apple products, Tesla - SolarCity product offerings would work seamlessly together. However, whether or not the deal is a success for Tesla, SolarCity or Musk, it seems unlikely to produce any negative effects for the future of the solar power sector and the customer. So whether it's like Apple's, or "peanut butter and jelly", at least the publicity surrounding the Tesla - SolarCity deal, if completed, can drive the sector towards a cheaper, greener, sexier and more viable energy future.
