Some misconceptions in your posts here.
Tesla Motors
Tesla Motors was a Silicon Valley Startup in 2006, and is credited for making
Electric Vehicles commercially viable. Earlier experiments from other vendors flopped everywhere.
Tesla Motors now produce highest quality Electric Vehicles in the world. Even Germans have admitted as much, begrudgingly.
Tesla Motors have fulfilled every significant debt obligation, and is getting orders beyond its developing capacity at present. However, Tesla Motors is growing by the year.
My take is that Elon Musk have orchestrated a global Electric Vehicle revolution, and many will benefit from this enterprise worldwide. Many are becoming weary of costly petrol and diesel due to games of OPEC, and want to switch. I would also switch when I am able, inshallah.
Space X
Space X develop its own rockets including engines*. In other words, Space X does not use Russian engines.
*
Merlin engine.
Each Falcon 9 series rocket is equipped with 9 x Merlin engines (standard) - an important safeguard against the prospects of an engine failure or two during the course of operations.
FYI:

An American engineer Tom Mueller designed Merlin engine for Space X.

Mueller is also developing a new (more powerful engine) for Space X which will enable
manned missions to planet Mars in the near future.
Space X have in fact made space exploration affordable by developing "re-usable rocket boosters." Thanks to these boosters, each trip to space is now cost-effective. A breakthrough in rocket science in short.
My take in regards to Space X is that Musk have rekindled space exploration by making it cost-effective. Another milestone for mankind.

SEC penalized Musk for his reckless tweeting habits. A compromise have been reached though:

Some argue that SEC went overboard in its crackdown of Musk. Nevertheless, Musk is too big to stop now, and a celebrity.
As neutral observers, we should respect and admire entrepreneurs who bring revolution with impressive ideas and accomplishments in the field.
Yes! People need to get a grip on their tweeting habits. Important lesson for all.
