He'd be bankrupt many times over without his ability to work massive $ from the US Gov - I'd argue it's one of his biggest strengths, trailing somewhere after his stock market influence abilities, both of which seem key to how he bankrolls massive capex+opex infra projects.

Tesla, SpaceX, Boring Company - it's questionable whether any of them would exist if they were competing in a completely free market. Some think he's saving the world, but from what I can see, he might just be the world's most effective leech.
