    Id be willing to bet that tesla is no bigger than 10% maximum of his worth. His big ones are space X that just chugs our tax money, and starlink, which I believe is being used as navigation in weapons systems being sold to nations. Tesla is effectively meaningless now.

      I doubt that

      Edit: Tesla’s market cap is now 722 billion, still making it more valuable than any company on this graph. We need to go much lower
