Good morning from the Financial Times. Today is Tuesday, October 26th.

And this is your FT News Briefing.

Tesla joined the Trillion Dollar Club yesterday,

and internal Facebook documents continue to reveal troubling practices

and internal struggles at the company. Plus, green jobs are seen by many as the key to

cleaner economies and a healthier environment. But some aren't so safe for workers.

I think the word green we often associate with things like safety and cleanliness

and sustainability. But it's worth being a bit realistic about what some of those jobs are.

I'm Mark Filipino and here's the news you need to start your day.

Tesla is now a one trillion dollar company, according to its stock market value.

Yesterday it became the first car company to ever make the cut.

The FT's Patrick McGee reports on Tesla and used to report on another big automaker when

he was based in Germany. I always wondered whether Tesla was going to be worth more than Volkswagen.

And it's now worth something like seven times out of Volkswagen. And I still find it difficult

to even comprehend that. I mean, for Volkswagen, for people don't know, is the owner of 12 brands,

including Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti. You know, these are high margin businesses that

have rules the 20th century basically. And for Tesla to be worth all of that seems still to me

a little bit crazy. And of course, to be worth seven times that is just insane, right? Or as ludicrous

as a Tesla's acceleration. So Patrick, what should we make of all this? Should Tesla actually be worth

a trillion dollars? So it all depends on whether you think Tesla is an auto company or a tech

company that happens to make cars. If it's an auto company, this clearly makes no sense whatsoever.

Something like 90 million cars are built a year. Tesla only produces 500,000 of them, right?
