Musk has lost a tremendous amount of money between X and his negative effect on Tesla sales. Do you feel this has "manipulated" him into being a better person? ๐Ÿคฃ

Even with all the losses, he is still the richest man in the world by more than $50 billion. Musk dumped more than half of his Tesla stock and is focusing more on SpaceX now.

Yes, that's my point. Losing money didn't "influence" him.

[โ€“] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My point is that he didn't lose a significant amount of money.

If you are running in the Olympics, it doesn't matter if the 2nd place guy is 5 seconds or 10 seconds behind you. You still get the gold.
