The stock price is fucked if Musk leaves. The car business might survive, though.

I have no faith they can deliver on FSD/optimus/AI/cheap model. But with SEC kneecapped, I think the next rabbit out of Elon’s hat will be spectacular.

More spectacular then the self driving cars in 2014, people on Mars in 2024 and a Hyperloop that's shuffling ppl in a vacuum pipe? Frankly, I'm not sure how much further we can go. It's been full on fantasy tech since he's become well known.

While the self driving works surprisingly well in 2025, it's been 11 years since the promised date and you still get the occasional assisted suicide attempt via Tesla in the news. (Near fatal crashes while not paying attention because of "self driving")

Yes and still in his Albert Spangler phase. But would he become a moral person if offered an angel by Lord Vetinari?
