Today, Elon Musk walked out on Facebook. He took with him his corporate family, too: electric vehicle pioneer Tesla Motors ($TSLA), space-going maverick SpaceX ($PRIVATE:SPACEX), and futurist solar panel subsidiary SolarCity ($SCTY).

Tesla Likes Over Time
SpaceX Facebook Likes Over Time
Solar City Likes Over Time
