> truly world-changing things Musk has been at the helm of Tesla for 20 years. The past year was a very slow year for the car selling business except for luxury vehicles of course (which Tesla is). In 2021 Teslas accounted for approx. 1% of total global vehicles sales. 1% in 20 years. World-changing.

    PayPal is profitable, SpaceX is the cheapest way to get cargo into space, and Tesla is 3x profit per car versus Ford/GM. He's not Jesus, but he's also not Bernie Madoff.

Only Teslas don't look like Ferraris unfortunately. They are also still more scarce than Ferraris, if not on the roads, for sure in absolute numbers. Pretty poor performance when the Italian brand makes 9,000-12,000 cars per year dependant upon macroeconomic enviornoment. Also they are cooking the books. Everybody who looks at musk and how it operates understands this. He believes in manifestation and faking it till you make it.
