    Fucking idiots will down vote you but this is the truth and something a lot of people who work or have worked with Musk say. The guy knows his shit. He didn’t get to be the richest guy on earth because of South African emeralds or whatever. He’s changing the world. Love him or hate him, you don’t matter. If you think he’s a moron then do better and take him down.

      Besides most of his “wealth” is all tied up in stocks. Him holding onto the shares is largely the only reason they maintain any value. Everytime he sells or uses them as collateral, the prices shift wildly downward.
