    He is as overvalued as his companies. The stock markets speculation and juicing of stock prices on hype is so obscene. Space X lost billions last year. Its road map to profitability is dependent on tech that doesn’t exist yet and government contracts from an over leveraged government and a right wing party rapidly losing favor. Tesla is wildly overvalued as well. He is a hype machine with little substance and his wealth is very tied to that hype. Fuck Elon.

        Most, maybe, but off the top of my head, I can think of two easy counterexamples:

        • Warren Buffett’s wealth is in diverse investments; it’s only inflated insofar as the entire stock market is overvalued
        • Gabe Newell’s wealth is almost entirely in Steam, which isn’t even publicly traded so can’t really be overvalued by “hype”
