Tesla vehicles delivered

Satellite launches and Tesla deliveries have grown together with a correlation of 0.990, and yes, the same person is substantially responsible for both, which makes this less a spurious correlation and more an income statement wearing a scatter plot. SpaceX launches the satellites, Tesla delivers the cars, and the chart is basically Elon Musk's to-do list rendered in Cartesian coordinates.

Satellite launches grew from about 120 per year in 2015 to over 2,800 by 2023, driven primarily by SpaceX Starlink. Tesla deliveries grew from about 50,000 to over 1.8 million. Both curves are exponential adoption stories powered by the same underlying cost reduction: SpaceX's reusable rockets made launches cheap, and battery cost reductions made EVs affordable. Both companies share a CEO, investors, and an engineering culture. This is one of the rare correlations where the biographical connection is real and the shared economic drivers are documented.

Nine years of satellites and Teslas is the most Elon Musk correlation on this site, and one of the least spurious: both curves are driven by the same cost reductions, the same investor base, and the same human being's apparently inexhaustible ambition. The satellites orbit, the cars charge, and the chart is a biography in two dimensions.
