That's a testable hypothesis: burn Tesla, Twitter, SpaceX etc to the ground. We can measure his reaction to each, and compare.

No, he cares for Twitter.

SpaceX lets him pretend he's some great tech genius, but Twitter is what gives him the validation he craves. All the pro-Elon bots and stans there who fellate him feed his narcissistic desire to be loved.

That's why he "sold" Twitter to xAI. So if Tesla does tank hard enough and he gets margin called, he can't be forced to sell Twitter to cover it.

Tesla means nothing to Elon.

Then why did he ask Trump to shill Teslas for him? He definitely cares, for narcissistic ego reasons if not financial ones.

It could go to zero and it wouldn't affect him.

He leveraged his Tesla stock to buy Twitter. If the stock drops below a certain price, the banks will confiscate the stock. If it's not enough to cover, they'll confiscate Twitter.

But maybe I'm wrong. I would love to find out either way.

That's fine, let's still take down Tesla for good measure

Not exactly I’m pretty sure he’s using his stocks as collateral for lots of stuff.

I hear what you are saying, but I still like to see Nazis hurt.

Let’s make Tesla a penny stock.

Yup, this is why we need to either nationalize Starlink or just shut it down completely. This isn't something a single private company should have control of.

Isn't this a ponzi sceme? He uses his starlink as his SpaceX customer. Without Starlink, SpaceX would be a lot less profitable.

One at a time. Patience is a virtue
