If he continues the way he's going, that's not going to last all that much longer. One does not retain their financial security by crumbling every project you touch into dogshit. Tesla and Twitter are both on the fast slide into the gutter.

He is being propped up by Saudi investors, which are aligned with Russians on more fronts than one.
