    Id be willing to bet that tesla is no bigger than 10% maximum of his worth. His big ones are space X that just chugs our tax money, and starlink, which I believe is being used as navigation in weapons systems being sold to nations. Tesla is effectively meaningless now.

      I doubt that

      Edit: Tesla’s market cap is now 722 billion, still making it more valuable than any company on this graph. We need to go much lower

          He’s hit the level of wealth where he’ll never be poor. But he can be removed from “buy governments” money until such time as he can be held accountable for his actions
