Forever. The biggest thing that make's you more money is having money and whereas someone with $1,000,000 can make themselves poor in a year if they are incompetent someone with hundreds of billions with Employees actually managing the day to day can lose a billion a year to stupidity and see the appreciation of the rest more than make up for it.
So "too big to fail" basically. I accept your argument, but I'm not convinced because he does that narcissistic shit with all his companies, so "the appreciation of the rest" is not there imo.
Sure, SpaceX gets government money/contracts, but I doubt that alone is enough to compensate for his messy "visions".
People still buy Tesla's even if its not enough to justify the stock price. Basically we need Trump to deliberately destroy him instead of knuckling under and coming to an understanding OR we need both of them to crash and burn in 2028 really really hard.
Ordinary stupidity and wastage isn't going to be near enough.
