    Thing is, he’s not. He can, and has, lose more money than I’ll ever see and not have any change in lifestyle.

    It simply doesn’t effect him. All of his companies could collapse completely tomorrow and he probably wouldn’t even notice (financially speaking).

      He may not notice the financial loss but at the amount of money he’s trying to amass money isn’t the point. Power and control are the point. If his companies go under he’ll loose a lot of power and influence and I’m not sure his ego could handle that. He seems to crave attention of any kind. I’d be happy if he were reduced to a regular very rich guy with nothing of consequence to say anymore.

        What is his most profitable asset? Tesla stock? Spacex stock? So long as his total assets are worth $4 billion or more, there’s no change. Anything below that and he’ll lose influence due to financial strain. I’m looking forward to it!
