Elon pays a high price each time he taps that "Post" button. But he seems like a guy who's happy to YOLO most of his actions.
The man seemingly has access to infinite cash reserves, so formerly known as Twitter won't stop working until he's bored of it. The comments wondering why it's not dead yet seem worn out by now.
Finally, the non-stop flow of articles and posts about the site prove its reach still punches way above it's weight class.
I guarantee you, Elon Musk is perpetually happier than 90% of the people who criticize him.
He seems to spend most of his time angry that people with other opinions exist.
He stirs up controversy because he's a brand and every time the news talks about him is free advertising for that brand.
Trump does it. West does it. He's cut from the exact same cloth of grifters.
And none of those people actually seem happy.
He definitely has more problems than most people in general, problems that would terrify a lot of regular souls. But he's also got a lot of help with those. Maybe it evens out.
I'm sure he's biting his nails about those criticisms while he's heliskiing in Telluride or crossing the Atlantic in his G6.
