He's worth 230 billion of Tesla, Twitter and space X shares, while there is a chunk of inherent value in all of those companies they aint worth 230 billion, a vast amount of that is market expectation, the perception he's a genius and everything he touches turns to gold, if he wrecks twitter it will put a vast dent in Tesla's stock as well as wipe 40 billion from Twitter straight off the top

I think you are going to find at some point, that much like his complete ignorance of Twitter, at some point this Emperor is going to be shown to have no clothes.
He's 'worth' that but its not sitting in some Scrooge McDuckian vault or anything. If you put a gun to his head and told him to come up with that, he couldnt.
Thats the thing about 'Cash' vs 'Value.'
'Value' has a tendency to change much more quickly.
Elon continues to play the clown, the big guns in automotives make headway in the EV game, he makes a couple other dumb moves? That value can start dropping in a hurry.

He hasnt made any of his money with any innate intuition or intelligence, but rather through smart plays and Government intervention.
Thats not usually a sustainable play.
Sure, he can afford to piss away Twitter, thats small beans. But he's not going to able to continue getting Government subsidies and contracts forever and if he continues to act like a clown, eventually that Gravy Train is going to hit the end of the line.
And if he continues to not pay his bills, he's going to find himself on the other side of the wall.

Dude has a possible addiction to ketamine, which would account for PART of his bizarre and erratic behaviour.
I still don't think he's a great businessman or leader either way.

Amazon doesn’t make most their profit delivering stuff to your door . They make it from AWS .

I think he is genuinely intelligent. The thing about intelligence is that people who are skilled in one area are not necessarily skilled in others. In fact, they are often below average in other areas. Musk is also stuck in an echo chamber. He's surrounded by people who turn his random whims into reality.
Another thing about intelligence is you also have to exercise and train it. Something Musk hasn't done in a while.

It looks like a half finished block of aluminum from a milling machine. Elon really is a 6-year old stuck in a billionaire's body, since that's the only type of person who thinks this truck and calling everything X is cool

Ya, it's real. And if you hate wiping fingerprints off your stainless steel fridge, welcome to the hell of this thing. Even just the water drip marks look nasty.
This is, by far, the dumbest vehicle in at least the past 20 years.

Elon talked about how the prototype is too big and they were going to be making changes for the actual production one. …. Holy yikes to whatever the #### this is.
