Elon Musk tweets about Tesla stock price being too high

Work friend told me that Elon Musk is going crazy on his twitter account right now. I don't have Social Media....but something about his stock shares being too high?

Wonder if his account got "hacked"?

Money. It makes you more of who you already are.


But in this case I'd assume Musk was hacked.

Be polite!!

Not "nuts". He's rich, therefore, "eccentric", is the proper label.

What even drives someone to become a fucking billionaire? I mean your only goal from day one HAS to just be accumulate as much wealth as humanly possible, right?

I mean, you look at someone like Musk, Bezos, Gates... do you think money is the byproduct of their Intelligence, or is money the primary goal. Always wondered this.

I think the money is a byproduct of being the biggest or best in your industry. We're aiming to be the biggest in our industry, and with that comes a company that has to grow to a certain size or value. It's not the money we want, but the pride and satisfaction of being "the best" which is what will take us there. I think it was the same for those 3 you mentioned - at least at one point in their lives anyway.

I think that really depends on the individual's personality. I've met some wealthy individuals who just like being the best, and are often competitive but very humble, giving people. I've also met some where success is an addiction, and they will do whatever it takes to make more money.

My initial reaction was that his girlfriend snuck away with his phone for a minute. I bet I'm right.

Just my two cents, I don't feel that individuals such as Bezos, Musk or Gates go in trying to earn as much as possible; but I do feel like their focus is on their business and their goals, product-wise. I think the money simply comes from providing a product or service that people want. In my experiences and observations, those who try to get rich fail at it; those who simply believe in their vision, product or service become rich in the process.

IMO Elon is mildly autistic. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
