I think SpaceX is great, fwiw. However, the vast majority of Mr Musk's worth comes from Tesla (which again, made a great product back in the day), but his wealth appears to be driven by some kind of weird hypno-toad like power over the markets.

Like, Tesla should not be valued the way it is, and I still can't understand what's going on here.

I think that both Tesla and SpaceX have been net good for the world, but do we really think that wealth taxation would've stopped Musk from doing anything post Paypal?
