Yea, the way he treats his employees and will fire people on the spot for upsetting him, like a petulant child, kinda pushes back against the idea that he has any PR skills.
I thought the same thing when I read it. They look strikingly similar.

Apparently SpaceX is about to raise a couple billion dollars at a $46 billion valuation, which would make it one of the largest private companies in the U.S. Is it too soon to start talking about whether Elon Musk is the greatest businessman in American history?
Greatest hype man seems like a lock.
Matthew Lesko is America’s “greatest” businessman and I will accept no arguments to the contrary. Good day to you, sir.

In total seriousness, investment professionals have cleverly coined the term “momentum strategies” because it sounds better than “when the market is rising stupidly get in while the getting is good and pray you get out before the inevitable crash”. If you think “sophisticated” money is too smart to fall for that, I am sad to report that many large pension plans are enthusiastic about momentum strategies. Its not speculation if you frown thoughtfully and nod seriously in pension committee meetings!

Because the Big Three are terrified of Tesla and lobbied to keep them from selling directly to customers.

Michigan just changed, actually. Here’s a full list. bans like this are mostly due to the car dealership lobby rather than the big three

Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google are all over a trillion market cap and Facebook not far behind. If valuation is the criteria, not much of a case. If P/E ratio is the criteria, then…well, still a ways to go to catch Zoom.
