    Power. He is angling for more power in the cryptocurrency market. 

    I’ll go back to the barter system before I get involved with crypto but that’s just me.

    Elon Musk has 232.1 billion USD.  Wrap your head around that! 
    Is that cash or equity in his company?  I mean he is stupid rich with cash for sure, but if stock tanks tomorrow he has less overall wealth.  It's not so bad to have wealth in companies you built.

    EU warns Elon Musk ahead of Trump interview to keep hate speech off X
    Key Points
    • European Commissioner Thierry Breton on Monday warned X owner Elon Musk that the company may face penalties if it doesn’t address the spread of illegal content.
    • Breton referred to riots that have taken place in the U.K., triggered by disinformation related to a fatal stabbing attack, as well as a conversation Musk is due to hold with Donald Trump.
    • Breton warned Musk that the EU was prepared to “make full use of our toolbox” under the Digital Services Act, including interim measures, to protect EU citizens from “serious harm.”

    Now there’s a guy I want to do business with or buy a car from! From Letter From an American:

    Tonight, X owner Elon Musk planned to “interview” Trump, although it seemed pretty clear the event was intended simply to be a long advertisement for him. European Union commissioner for Internal Market Thierry Breton wrote an open letter to Musk warning about E.U. laws against amplifying harmful content “that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances of disinformation.” Breton warned that his team “will be extremely vigilant” about protecting “E.U. citizens from serious harm.” Musk responded with a meme that said: “TAKE A BIG STEP BACK AND LITERALLY, F*CK YOUR OWN FACE!”

    My financial adviser used to try to argue with me that Musk is a genius, blah blah blah. I laughed at him and said, no, I had the same big ideas when I was ten years old and reading old science fiction, too. Also, he's an a-hole.
    I've heard no more "Musk is a genius" since he lit Twitter on fire and started screwing over Ukraine.
    Having been exposed to my share of bona fide geniuses, I'd say that my assessment of Musk as a spoiled man-child has aged well and will continue to do so.

    It's not that difficult to convince people that someone (you or someone else) genius with enough money and/or enough of a stage. That stupid "Apprentice" show portrayed Don as an amazing businessman and was probably a key part of getting him into the white house...in reality he was just (step 1) a guy born into a lot of money who (step 2) had a wealthy network put him on TV where he played a character.

    Musk, with his money and voice, can throw out big words about "futuristic" things like hyperloops. He sounds like such a visionary.

    Are you sure he is a financial advisor to keep around? Does he drive a cybertruck?

    at this point i don't see how tesla is even profitable, given that all teslas have been recalled. that can't be cheap.
