This doesn't mean that person is wrong about Elon's life sucking, but it's also a dungeon of his own making. Instead of stabilizing his businesses and raking in the profits, he seems to think his wild gambles are somehow wise. He got away with using Tesla to bail out his brother, which took Tesla to the brink. Any CEO without a lapdog board would be long gone for a stunt like that.
Cybertruck is a hyperactive child's idea of cool. Starship is, so far, neither an economical launch vehicle nor a viable tool for interplanetary manned exploration, and possibly a lesson in why a bastardized Agile-ish style of project management doesn't scale up. Starlink needs 10X the subscribers to be viable.
But those situations and a dozen more were not imposed on Musk, nor are they even necessary to achieve his goal nor has taking those risks kept projects on schedule. He chose this life. How big a hole in one's soul that needs so much to fill it?
