    Not to be a vulgar materialist about it, but cultivating this super genius inventor image also makes him a lot of money. The brand and the stock price of his companies are tied directly to how much people believe he's directly involved in running them, and how much people think he's "actually super smart you guys, I swear he's like Tony Stark but irl".

    If people dunk on Elon for being a reactionary asshole with shit opinions, it barely affects the market. If Elon is somewhat outed not to be the savant he claims to be, the companies he has tied to his myth would suffer for it.

      God I hope to live to see the day where Elon's entire house of cards collapses. I want to see the tantrum that he throws when his piece of shit car company deflates and takes down half of the investment funds in America and Europe.

      I'm convinced at this point that Tesla's inflated stock price must be the result of a generation of failsons who don't invest based on fundamentals and find real estate and other safe investments as too boring
