    This serves him somehow, not sure how but he’s used social media and PR to make money through market manipulation before.

    I doubt his mental math is accurate on the value loss anyways.

      Or he’s just a narcissist that can’t run a company if he’s not held on a leash by people who actually know what they’re doing.

        I doubt that’s true, or he wouldnt have managed to take Tesla from a prototype and a few million dollars to billions, and then again with a rocketship contractor from scratch.

        It’s possible for people to be evil/immoral and also good at what they do, I don’t get what the obsession with painting him as a dip shit who managed to accidentally make multiple successful global enterprises.

        If it was really that easy to fail upward when managing these businesses you’d see a lot more of them.
