You say you are pre-IPO but it sounds more like pre-menopause. Please list your big successes that rival Musk's. I'm guessing Trump's biggest failure made more money than your greatest success, not judging you of course, just a guess.

> all the other companies he has founded Not Tesla - he bought into it. Tesla was founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. Not Paypal - he bought into it. The company was originally established by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in December 1998 as Fieldlink, later it was renamed Confinity, [9] a company which developed security software for hand-held devices. [10] When it had no success with that business model, it switched its focus to a digital wallet. [11] The first version of the PayPal electronic payments system was launched in 1999. [12]

That's nice, Joachim, but you defended Musk's failure with Xitter by pointing out all the other companies he has founded. None of that changes the fact that Xitter is doing much worse than before, revenue-wise. When you have as much money as Musk, you're living in a different world. Consider the possibility that he bought twitter (with what was pocket change to him) not as an investment, but as a social media outlet that he could convert to a politically freewheeling and uncensored platform. The subsequent howling from the globalists and the left is proof that he's been successful. I don't think he particularly cares how much money it is or isn't pulling in. I admire the hell out of anyone who's doing the right thing out of principle, rather than than just chasing $$. Motivations aside, Musk is an odd character, but he's certainly smarter than you or me..
