A dude like this would normally leverage stock to get low interest loans that they live off of and can write off.
A lot of people will shy away from Tesla permanently and his true believers are starting to crack.

I’m just so cynical at this point. His car company is crap, he’s a right-wing joke, but his public company is near an all-time high. I see so many new teslas where I live, it’s so disheartening.

Same, but news just hit today of him converting an entire car factory over from cars to robots, and he is canceling entire lines of cars.
This is after the abject failure of the cyber truck. You can only take on so much technical debt.
