So you consider self dealing to save a relative’s insolvent company ‘success’?

As regards Boring, prototype grant revenue that doesn’t even cover development cost and zero actual deployed systems = ‘success’? As long as execs are getting salaries?

Strange finance theories you’ve got there.

They are all financial successes for Musk personally.

They are business failures.

My point is that it depends on what you think Musk's goal was: to make money for himself so he can go to Mars, or to build solid sustainable businesses that provide value and quality to the consumer. I have my bet as to what his goal is.

I think we can all get behind him leaving for Mars.

He obviously did everything he could to try and get out of buying it. But he had to go through with it in the end.

I don't think it bodes well.

Its like an arranged marriage where you turn up at the wedding and find you really don't like your new spouse.
A lifetime of harmony is highly unlikely.

And the way he's gone about the first couple of weeks it's almost like he now wants it to fail.

I am Musk neutral.....
Never had a Tesla or Twitter account. Think he is incredibly gifted and equally incredibly annoying. Think his fan base are cult like disciples (cult with no 'n').
But doubt I would be driving my Taycan yet without him.

I will watch from afar with interest.

buying a (almost) bankrupt company for 44 billion does not sound "genius" but this guy ,so far, seems pretty good at making lead into gold..it will be a fun ride (unless you work at Twitter)

Dumb guy, lucky a couple of times. He will not be the first rich guy on paper ending up broke in prison.
