Has anyone done the math on if Elon can keep these plates spinning until he dies of old age or if it will implode sooner than that? I wouldn't think he can keep this up another decade, but I wouldn't have predicted Tesla limping along as long as it has even as Elon squeezes more money out of it, so idk. It would be really satisfying to watch Elon's empire implode, but probably he holds onto millions even if he loses billions because consequences aren't for the ultra rich in America.

Why so pessimistic, maybe we'll get lucky instead. The Ketamine could get to him.
I would dare to hope, but seeing how long Trump has been able to chug along despite his diet (and presumably drug habit, like that one debate where he was constantly sniffing) I wouldn't count on it.
I wonder whether his holdings could be nationalized as a matter of national security.
The democrat party is far too feckless to actually pull that off, but that would be a nice ironic twist to his attempts to leverage government contracts and being too big to fail.
Trump did.
