Elon going for his standard "fire up crypto to hide my actual Tesla losses" play?

Of course he is, but that’s the least of our problems with him!

So, in rare happy news, TSLA dropped another 15% today. I’d kind of like it to go to zero. Not to hurt Elon directly since, as we have seen, he can steal whatever he wants from Tesla and the US government, but to hurt some of his fan bois who bought the stock, thinking they could get rich from his reflected glory.

As an incorrigible contrarian, I would suggest that Musk deserves some sympathy. He might be neurodiverse, he might have mental health issues, and he might abuse drugs. He is so "out there" that he might come to an early and abrupt end. (But equally he might end up as Emperor of a colony on Mars.)
Once one has enough money, properties, cars and ukuleles, one ought to simplify one's life. Although I suspect he is having too much fun for that.

Properties?
A liability. And you can't take it with you.

You can buy anything a normal person might want for, say, 100 mln USD. Say a few billion USD tops.
Anybody who feels the need to accumulate more than that is not right in the head.
A few billion doesn't go very far if you have 14 children. Not to mention
hangers-on.

I am curious to know what you
can take with you then.

There is a straightforward optimization, straightforward but for most people not simple, in which you decrease your wants while working to increase what you can afford, and when they meet (perhaps with a small buffer), stop.

His investors are not very sympathetic though. Not a first such story- he wanted to be a DOGE, but may end up Piero the Unfortunate.
Is there any evidence that he takes drugs? I’d think it’s just his personality and the fu money that make him like that. He’s nasty sometimes, but clearly not in the way that would put off women.

I will leave it all behind. Like an annuity.

It does not come as a surprise that you side with the nazi who is wrecking lives and livelihoods by the hundreds of thousands, with a particular focus on government and educational institutions.
