In 2014, Elon "gave away" Tesla's secrets to BMW. Everyone thought he was crazy. But this "act of charity" was actually the most ruthless business move in corporate history. Here's why BMW never saw it coming: BMW was set to lead Europeโ€™s electric vehicle (EV) market, with a strong brand, engineering, and strategy. But Elon Musk had a different approach that changed the game. While BMW focused on battery deals, Elon built the Gigafactory to make more batteries than anyone. In 2014, he shocked everyone by giving Teslaโ€™s patents away for free. Elon knew Tesla couldnโ€™t grow the EV market alone. By sharing patents, he encouraged others to build EVs and charging stations, making Teslaโ€™s tech the industry standard. As others used Teslaโ€™s ideas, Elon focused on scaling production, cutting Teslaโ€™s battery costs much lower than competitors. The โ€œpatent giveawayโ€ wasnโ€™t just generosityโ€”it was a brilliant move to secure Teslaโ€™s lead. Follow for more valuable strategy like this .
