This seems like the closest thing to an Occam’s razor take to me. If all his companies crash and burn from his unhinged behavior, he’s not going to be useful to other billionaires or as powerful regardless. The fact so much of his wealth is in Tesla, a company that relies on climate conscious consumers, and he throws around nazi salutes in a heavily watched and historical event makes no sense at all. Meanwhile the administration is dismantling anything that would help EVs. It’s not 5D chess, sorry. I wonder what Tesla engineers and others inside the company think about all this.
