Generally speaking is most of Elon’s wealth tied up in Tesla valuation? Like is he cash poor

He's got about 44B into the bird app
That’s what he paid for it. It is currently valued at $9billion. Also, he is a business and financial genius who is going to fix out $30 trillion deficit.

I can't wait to see how much lower the Tesla stock goes. Hope it craters hard

Kinda difficult to judge when that happens. It's still up 100% since last April.

Sure, and it may well not but it's about face it quite something, and now that sales are truly reflecting that, and not really seasonally they are going to have difficult questions to answer

This was on Breaking Points today but I've had this thought for a while; Musk has said repeatedly that he is convinced we live in a simulation. I think this explains his actions quite well. He thinks he is in a game and he's trying to win, and everyone else in the world is an NPC. Hence why he's okay with shutting down cancer research, AIDS treatment in Africa, shutting down hospitals, etc just so he can pay himself hundreds of millions of dollars.

Egomaniac and psychopath also fit this and are much simpler explanations
