company is organized in a functional or U-formed structure with global
functional centers covering all business activities. 
These functional centers include design, technology, engineering, finance,
sales, and marketing, and of course the offices of the chief executive officer
(Elon Musk) and the chairman (Larry Ellison).

Managers through to assistants. 
The functional centers support the divisions of the company, the two key
ones being Automotive and Energy Generation with a subset of
geographical divisions in the likes of the U.S., China, and other key
jurisdictions. 
All areas of the business ultimately report to and are directed from the
centralized US-based headquarters in Palo Alto, California. Using this
corporate business structure managerial control is maintained across the
business globally.  This also allows processes to be streamlined and
strategic direction provided by the top tier of management and filtered
