      So much of one's actionable wealth is simply credit. Without access to international credit markets, you can't turn paper wealth into anything physical.

    Obviously Elon Musk will never not be rich, no matter how hard he falls, but if I had my way Elon would go out like those ROC generals who pretended to embrace communism after they lost the war. He'd own nothing, live in some small government provided house, and work a menial job, with nothing really to do except sit around remembering when he used to have more wealth than entire nations.

      You can't take it with you.

      Eventually, this guy is going to physically overextend himself. God only knows how much amphetamines he's already taking. Keep that pace up too long and you'll be competing with Hershel Walker for coherence.

      And I can very easily see him getting some potentially deadly but manageable disease, only to take shit tier medical advice from a bunch of 20 year old power lifters on Reddit and Steve Jobs himself into an early grave.

        Agreed and I doubt it's the only thing in his daily cocktail. I suspect benzos as well, for example. With the twitter debacle and his internal ego image getting shattered on several occasions recently, I also suspect he might genuinely crack soon.
