I've never really liked Musk as a person, but have greatly admired his mind and imagination...until he bought Twitter. I think we're seeing how much he really wants to play God, with the head-scratching and potentially self-destructing moves he's made at Twitter since becoming the "Chief Twit."

No one should kid themselves however, as even though Tesla is currently getting hammered and Twitter is a mess, the other companies he owns, or partly owns (Space-X, SolarCity, Tesla Energy, The Boring Company, Neuralink), are still leaders/innovators in their segments and highly valued.

Going from the richest person on the planet, to now only the second richest person (current estimated net worth of $139 billion as of Dec. 27, according to Forbes) - isn't exactly a reason to say he's now toast.

An easy way to put it into perspective, is understanding that if $1 was equal to 1 second, a million dollars would be about 12 days - and a billion dollars is about 31 years!
