    Because his success relies on hype and not, you know, the quality of the product, he has to constantly increase hype or run the risk of losing money. And since hyping the same thing has diminishing returns, he's got to find more absurd and extreme ways of hyping in order to sustain growth.

    I expect to see him go full WWE persona, with a velvet robe and maybe a Dragon Ball Z power scanner, within a year or two.

      Will he? Richard Branson basically started the same way and ge just hyped enough shit to kick back and never go bust.

      There’s a good chance Elon is the same.

        Look at the two of them and tell me they are the same.

        Richard Branson is majestic and he will remain so after the revolution in his own special habitat I make for him in his new home at the zoo as the last billionaire.

        The elongated muskrat could never be my star attraction, there is no comparison.

          I wouldn't be too upset if after the revolution we left Macafee out at sea on his boat and kept up the ruse. He'd never know, just keep tweeting.

        When he starts dressing like this carrying around a sword.

        So, maybe a couple of months.
