The weird contradiction of musk is that his name is what’s propping up most of his companies/projects but his proximity to his companies is also a threat to them.

You’re right but so many companies are about the stock and not any sort of core product anymore. He’s got a very unique gravity well around him lol

You put it better than I could have.
It makes for an interesting argument why executive comp should be capped - so they can focus on the product as the product (to benefit consumers) instead of the stock as the product (to benefit execs especially in short term)
If Musk left, the stock would crash. But the company would be profitable.
