SpaceX and Starlink are the true wins for Elon. My perception is because he is not too deeply involved and Engineers take safety, quality and reliability quite seriously.

Tesla definitely is daring and trying new things. Although the bar for quality and reliability is not the same as Rockets.

Twitter is just a joke. Little ROI for $44B. Seems like he bought it to stroke his ego.

He could have spent this on a standalone robotics company like SpaceX and would have been a better win.

But it's not my money and being a critic is a lot easier than being in the field. Elon is in the field.
