While this is true, the guy lives, sweats and breathes his companies. If youve ever seen the interview when he talks about pouring his last dollars into spacex and tesla and having NASA come thru as well as his VCs at the 11th hour around xmas (close of fiscal year) he talks about stress. He said “if i was capable of an emotional breakdown, this is as close as i have ever come”. He works for his goals 100% of the time and regardless of whether he is fucking up, he defends his companies like children. He goes on Twitter for both PR and defense. It is both emotional and tactical to different degrees. Like or hate the guy, he’s fucking all in all the time. It both helps and hurts his companies, but on balance i think it got him where he is.
