Elon could easily come back to number one. Edit. Before I saw your poll, I thought,"His bad Twitter decision must have caused him to lose a lot of money," and then I saw your poll. Still, being the second wealthiest man in the world is beyond impressive. Especially since Elon is only in his 50's. On a side note, the name Elon Musk sounds like a Brand Name rather than a real person, unlike say, Michael Dell (Founder of Dell Computers)or Bill Gates(founder of Microsoft).. Elon's name forshadowed his massive successful wealth. 🤔 Alec Baldwin's gun should have been CGI. Would have prevented the tragedy. Facts. |

| ams288 Member since: Apr 21, 2016 Threads: 29 Posts: 12505 | His disastrous Twitter deal just goes to show that he’s not the genius so many thought he was. He’s an impulsive attention whore who made a dumb offer, and found out the hard way he couldn’t back out of it. Would you want to invest more of your money in Tesla seeing his behavior over the past few months? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

No, but I would invest a lot into SpaceX if I could. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

In many ways Tesla's stock price has been behaving more like an internet company than a car manufacturer. For the first three quarters of 2022 alone, Tesla has sold more than 900,000 vehicles, but Toyota and Volkswagen sell close to 10 million vehicles per year. It may be that Tesla is just as vulnerable to the market response this year as Amazon, Google or Facebook, and Musk's involvement with Twitter has little or no bearing on Tesla stock price. |

Musk is a total a**hole I read Rick Stantons book. He was the lead diver on the Thai rescue team and took the famous 1st video of discovering the boys. I was taken aback when Musk showed up in the book. Musk contacted Stanton and said his engineers were working on a contraption to save the boys. At 1st Stanton humored Musk because they were looking for help. Once Stanton figured out how to get the boys out, he blew off Musk. He's busy rescuing the kids. Well nobody blows off Musk, even if you are too busy doing multiple dangerous cave dives to rescue kids. Musk was furious at Stanton and said the only reason why he was helping rescue the kids was because he was a pedophile I kid you not That's how unhinged Musk is What an a**hole No doubt Musk was probably forced to wear a mask somewhere so he's being an a**hole to Fauci. Prosecute???????? What charge????? Any evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt?????????? Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

The crowd booed him for several minutes. Twitter users who post video of the booing are mysteriously getting nuked this morning. So much for Elon championing “free speech!” 😜 “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
