Well he’s rich, so he’s a genius

This is why I'm fine with all the news stories about him. He's actively debunking this every single time.

His backers include the Saudis. If he doesn't pay, they'll whip out ol' bonesaw on him

He never actually wanted it as a company, he only wanted to open it up because he had a misguided belief it was some evil corporation controlling what people can say and he wanted that control instead.

Why wouldn't he have to pay? He already had to pay when he bought it. He put in cash and took on debt. The only real benefit to this thing tanking is he can take a massive capital loss and probably never pay income tax again.

The downside is he would owe a lot of money to people you don't want to owe and he looks like a bigger moron by the day. Sooner or later, Tesla investors are going to get spooked by his deranged behavior and then he's in a world of hurt. All his wealth is tied up in Tesla and he uses his position as CEO to pump the stock with all his bullshit lies. It's like a giant Ponzi scheme. As soon as the value comes back down to Earth and the stock is priced like a normal company he's in big trouble.

He's definitely trying to destroy Twitter on purpose.

I would be willing to forgive a lot if he could give us all cat girls. Not all, but a lot.

No, his more of a Steve Jobs, in that he knows how to get the right people in a room and get investors to invest in his companies.

We can't rule out the Mars thing. I'm still looking forward to it.
