Will Elon buy a mine? If there’s one thing we know after all this Twitter takeout drama, it’s that you should not underestimate Elon Musk’s social media shenanigans. Tesla’s CEO recently tweeted: “Price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining & refining directly at scale, unless costs improve,” which has investors speculating that Musk might purchase a lithium mining company. Although Tesla has individual global contracts for its supply of some metals, buying an actual lithium mine could be financially advantageous for Tesla. A bogus PR drop indicating Lithium Corp ($LTUM) was the mining company under consideration for acquisition caused its price to double in session last week. Its shares gained 14% today.
