The beta male won tonight...

Perhaps, but he gave each of them a lot of dough.

Because he could afford to do that.

Perhaps, but I cannot recommend a person throwing away tens of millions of dollars like that. If Tesla goes bankrupt or has a huge correction, Musk is broke. He's basically like Zuckerberg according to the 10k filings. 99% of his net worth is in the stock. That goes belly up, they're both SOL. What they do is take a margin loan against their holdings and borrow against it to live. Remember, they are only paid a buck a year and neither company pays a dividend. That is how they live, through stock appreciation and margin.

He plays his narratives well on twitter to boost his stock.

I don't think his manufacturering business yields much profits.

Yea, and it cost him his Chairmanship. Smart...

Doesn't matter about the building of profits. He owns shares worth 20 billion + dollars. He margins this and he lives off that. That is one of the reasons how he's able to fund SpaceX. He pledged his shares. Larry Ellison does the same

I sold all of my shares with his company.

I don't buy what he's saying on twitter but others obviously does.

Still he's a brilliant man with a vision.

Being a cuck and brilliant are two completely different things. Bill Gates is a brilliant genius. I do not see he getting screwed over by women.

I agree that Bill Gates is brilliant but he's no playboy and he's no visionary in the same breath as Elon.

Elon Musk started 2 companies that under normal circumstances would not have succeeded much less taken off had it not been for his brilliance and vision.

That said, he cannot be compared to a programmer which is basically what Bill is.
