Musk's done an excellent job of cornering the market in a few other sectors, EVs most notably. You'll notice how all the other American firms and even a few of the Japanese and Korean companies are bowing out and running away.

Tesla has 7.7% of EV market share. What "few other sectors" were you referring to?

So, having fingers in the pot is "cornering the market"? I'm not entirely sure what your second sentence even means.
