Tesla may have to mine, refine lithium as its price is insane: Musk

Tesla CEO Elon Musk reacted to lithium's rising price over the years, saying, "Price of lithium has gone to insane levels! Tesla might actually have to get into the mining and refining directly at scale, unless costs improve." "There is no shortage of the element itself, as lithium is almost everywhere...but pace of extraction/refinement is slow," Musk added
