The more this guy talks and doubles down, the more he's eroding the floor he's standing on. His lawyers should just take his phone away. I am very harsh critic

I am very harsh critic of Musk and never felt for his personal or corporate propaganda, but if you asked me 3 months ago I was 99% confident that his net worth will never fall below 15B, no matter what he does or what laws he violates. His cushion and margin of error was simply too wide.
Now I am not so sure anymore. When your wealth and power is a function of how you make people feel, it's easy come and easy go.
People who were once on top of the world are today irrelevant: Carter, Bill Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, Merkel, Gorbachev. They were on top of the world because of how they managed to make people feel.
Sometimes it's way more convenient to own a piece of Metlife or Prudential or General Electric or Coca Cola...uncontroversial stuff which people will always need and doesn't need a social movement behind to increase in value.
