Although he is financially one of the richest businessmen in the world, it is also worth noting that the share prices of his other companies could fall through losses on his Twitter purchase. In my opinion his main mistake was disregarding public sentiment. What is your concern?
He is a genius and he will certainly surprise you and everyone.
Maybe not all his companies will skyrocket, but most of them are
Let's not confuse Elon's eccentric personality with his abilities and virtues, which he clearly has.
This is so true. The guy is shockingly smart. He founded SpaceX at the age of 30 I believe. Who the heck would be crazy enough to found a rocket company at that age? And how is he the chief designer for his rockets? I always wondered whether that is really true. Of course he hired engineers, but still that's an unreal achievement. All these companies that he has and how he has the majority control over space due to his satellites.
I am quite sure that he has a plan for Twitter and knows how to turn things around, but he also already admitted that there will be bumps in the road and that they are experimenting, trying to figure out what people might need or want. A lot of the things he founded complement each other. But it's also interesting how consequent he is and that he decided to let OpenAi go because it isn't anymore open source. Usually one would think that everything he does is aiming at becoming richer, but he seems to have some serious principles that he sticks to. Twitter is probably just another piece of a puzzle that he has in mind.
