Pulled from a Nextdoor post:
The Nextdoor editors deleted a recent post asking how Elon managed to be the richest man in the US.
I understand their reluctance to permit political debates where all we see is how disrespectful each side can be of the other. I've tried to remain polite. In fact, I have no disrespect for voters who support Musk. Given the D's malfeasance, their protest is perfectly understandable. We'll see if that bit of politeness convinces them to leave this post up. If not, I'll post it to the Fair Oaks group that permits political comment.
Unfortunately, the "who's the richest" game has a flexible scoring method (the stock market) so Elon may not be as rich has we think. He's certainly willing to take risks the US car makers weren't willing to take (see Matt Stoller's explanation...really worth a look)
Meanwhile, Musk's risky position is truly precarious. Musk is in a world of hurt if his gambles don't pay off.
