IMO, Elon is this century's Howard Hughes.
Would you rather:

A: Have $100M - $1BN in cash without a calendar full of meetings and you have the freedom to control your time.

B: Have $800BN - $1TN in stock which you cannot sell and you have a calendar full of daily meetings, zero breaks, and you can’t retire or speak freely because you carry a lot of market risk to your shareholders?

It's not cash sitting in an account. It's completely meaningless and just used as a political lever IMO.

He didn't steal $120+ from every person on earth, he created a trillion in "value".

We aren't poorer for Tesla and SpaceX existing.

For what it's worth: I have no financial interest with any of his companies or own any of their products. I feel like I'm neutral third party.

So how do I feel? No different than before he was a "trillionaire".

Absolutely fine.
it looks like a nazi, kills millions like the nazis, even salutes like the nazis... Our pattern recognition seems lacking...
