Tesla shares are only around 25% of Melon's total. (13% of $840 billion or about $109 billion.)
Of course, his net worth includes $44 billion for Twitter, when it was worth about 20% of that. So, there's one inflation point.
SpaceX is a different matter. It's market cap is over $400 billion & he owns 42%. So, $168 billion.
So, we're at $322 billion, out of around $420 billion.
If those tank there is still potentially $100 billion left over. Not exactly GoFundMe time.
Of course, I can't attest to how fragile the other $100 billion is.
If Tesla & SX tank, it could take other investments with it.

Musk does not handle criticism / threats well at all. He's even more easily triggered than Trump

I agree. And Elon can tell how trump wanted him to rig the voting machines so that he could "win", like trump told us

Musk CLEARLY studied Trump in order to know precisely how to manipulate him...

Or has his citizenship revoked due to Trump SUDDENLY finding out he violated his original US VISA & skipped school

Probably not, but he'll think of the easiest way to inflict maximum damage...

No need for a distraction. He and the Repukes are not hiding anything they are doing.

Here's for a full blown war between the two psychos. Maybe they'll pause from destroying the world for awhile.
