    Imagine having so much wealth that he can walk away from his utter failure at Xitter and remain completely unaffected. For him, this is like some side-hustle vanity project a bored trophy wife runs.

      Losing 40b is a pretty big deal even for Musk to be fair. It’d be more like a bored housewife remortgaging the house to pay for their vanity project.

        I mean not really, he knows he’ll always have a roof over his head, food on his table, doctors when he’s ill, it is a rather big deal but that doesn’t really affect his daily life in any significant way.

        He’ll still be able to afford anything he may ever want, what he really lost is financial power and social respect.

        In short I think it’s more like a bored housewife getting thrown out from the homeowners association.

          That’s like the worst for a person like Musk.
