Elon Musk may be a controversial leader, but there's no arguing with his results. Tesla is joining the S&P, and its stock is up over 500% for the year. Meanwhile, SpaceX is bringing new life to the U.S. space program, successfully delivering astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time last month.
Brainstorm's Brian O'Keefe and Michal Lev-Ram speak with Fortune's Andrew Nusca about what drives Musk who, in his free time, has also founded a handful of wildly different companies and promoted in-demand products like tequila and flame-throwers.
Also in the episode, a conversation with GM's Ken Morris, VP of Electric and Autonomous Vehicles. The legacy automaker has committed to an all-electric future. And while Musk's Tesla may have lit the fire under the electric vehicle market, the scale of GM means it can put many more drivers into environmentally-friendly cars.
And, because no conversation about Tesla is complete without debating the merits of its stock price, you'll hear from Alyssa Altman of Publicis Sapient.
