I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that Musk will meet an untimely end -- whether by assassins or by corrupt bureaucrats pushing the boundaries of their legal (and illegal) powers to destroy him. And with the money he sunk (and lost) in Twitter, I don't know if he'll be able to defend himself. Vort 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musk is worth probably four times what he paid for Twitter, and neither Tesla nor SpaceX are going away any time soon. He could lose his entire investment in Twitter--not an impossible scenario, but doubtful--and still be one of the three richest men in the world. If his other ventures continue to do well, he might be able to absorb the entire loss and still maintain his Richest Man in the World position. Not that I think that's particularly important, not that Musk himself necessarily cares about it, and not that I don't think Twitter was a bad investment. (Namely: I don't think it's particularly important, I have no idea how much Musk cares about being the richest man alive, and I thought the Twitter purchase was a loser from the start--I always assumed he was doing it in a sincere attempt to keep honest free discourse alive, and it looked like he was desperately trying to back out before he finally swallowed the bitter pill and made the best of it. It could still redound to his credit and financial profit.) He could probably use his money to shield himself pretty effectively, but it would require him to become a hermit. I doubt he's willing to accept that. I hope we are not so vilely corrupt that Musk is literally in danger for his life from the rabble of the Left, but I'm not so naive as to actually believe my hope. mikbone and Traveler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoGuan is the third largest individual investor in Tesla. This is just one of several recent tweets lamenting Elon's neglect of Tesla and his disastrous personal PR related to Twitter affecting it.

Just because Tesla stock is down recently doesn’t mean that the company is falling apart. The right does this with “woke”’companies and all it shows is how little they understand about the markets.
