Tesla has earned billions already through its regulatory carbon credit sales. This allows other automakers to meet emissions regulations and avoid billions in fines.
Tesla has been getting paid by other carmakers for selling its carbon credits for years whose names used to be a secret.
But a report from Bloomberg revealed two famous names. These are General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). About how much exactly they’re buying, it’s between them and Tesla.
Tesla’s regulatory carbon credit sales account for over 20% of its profits this quarter.

What a racket.
You can quit a corporation and go get a different job. Could Russians "quit Russia" and just leave whenever they want? Can Chinese? North Koreans? East Berlinners? I recall reading that people were shot for trying to climb the Berlin Wall. Are people shot when they try to quit Amazon?
No. And it is not because Russia somehow hold them or do not allow to leave. But because other
corporationsstates are in the same cartel trying to prevent that kind of migration between owners and do not accept those who just want to "change owner". It is nearly impossible to acquire permanent residence, not even talking about citizenship of another state. And it is not only Russin citizens could not do it freely. Try, say, to leave US and settle in, say, Germany without eneormous amount of money or selling yourself to some German employer on very unpleasant conditions.Nearly same thing was in USSR, but only for Jews. If you are Jew, you are free to leave at anytime. Others, to be allowed to leave had to prove for the state that their "new owner" will definitely accept them - job offer, marriage to the citizen of another state, whatever reason had to be presented.
In corporations things are much worse - you could leave, but first you have to "finish your job", "transfer all knowledge to successor and teach him" and do anything top managers tell you to leave freely and have a chance to find a new job in another corporation. If you ultimately leave without fulfilling all your obligations and demands of employer, than you could even be fined for "breaking contract before the term", and other corporation hardly will accept you for similar job level without positive letter from your previous employer. And there is nonzero probability that you will be unemployed for significant time after that. Today things become much worse. If you somehow fall under "not obeying agenda", nobody from cartel will hire you.
