Goodbye, Fiat: Tesla’s Investment in Bitcoin
Aha I completely forgot about Trump! Agreed, I think Elon Musk has really nailed personal branding. I can't think of many businessmen who have the same level of following.- Jaysen

Capitalisation in applications
Generally I prefer not to capitalise practice areas. 'IP' we'd also want to write out in full (i.e. intellectual property). There's too much inconsistency though (even among law firm websites), so you should be fine either way.- Jaysen
