It's not a Ponzi scheme. Tesla value is way higher than early investors paid. SpaceX is more valuable than early investors paid.

What you are seeing Is recency bias expecting continued overwhelming success. This happens to any innovation back to railroads, websites, nifty fifty and overseas ventures.

Tesla's and SpaceX's value is not tied to what they are producing, it's pure speculation and value comes from Musk's empty promises. Where are the trucks and full self-driving? When do we actually go to mars? The cars tesla offers are shit and the parts come from other companies. Starlink availability is shit, and probably won't scale anyways. Hyperloop is just a dumb fantasy that will be stupidly expensive to maintain and build. The robots won't ever happen and will be again financially stupid idea as the value proposition for having expensive robot to do dumb tasks that anyone could do is just retarded, while they can't do the actual complex tasks well or at all (like building cars).

I want to make an electric car. It’s happened before but I’m gonna make it sexy. Hey my PayPal money made it work.

I like solar stuff so I’ll buy a solar panel company and keep the same ridiculous margins and do absolutely nothing with the company but offer my Tesla battery as a bundle.

I’m gonna make a cyber truck that is the most amazing electric truck and it’s tough. Sorry we didn’t test breaking the glass window but promise, it’s super strong and unbreakable.

Space is cool but rockets take forever cause nasa is lame. Maybe if I fund them and act as a VAR/reseller of rockets.

One day we will also have tunnels guys I promise but I’m trying to fix my cyber truck.

Oh noes other car manufactures people trust and don’t get political have their own EVs and PHEVs :(

hey guys I put a car in space trust me it looks completely legit. It looks so fake that’s why it’s real. Those were my exact words. I actually said that. Sorry the camera disconnects after the rocket makes it to out space. Also who cares about littering in the galaxy.

Doge coin for the lulz watch Rick and Morty. Im gonna buy twitter. Jk no I’m not.

Haha flame throwers are cool. Im gonna go on SNL and say I’m a retard so people can still like my car. Hey guys I’m a Republican now lulz.

Musk is the GOAT of conman by being just legitimate enough. Really the only difference between an entrepreneur and a conman is that an entrepreneur at least intends to deliver something at one point.

One of the great ironies of libs crying over his politics and Twitter purchase is that it was government incentives towards green technology that enabled him to go from standard Silicon Valley millionaire to the richest man alive.

He is no conman and delivers on his promises.
That said, there is zero doubt the steep rise of his enterprises was massively supported by the bubble that's currently bursting. It will be interesting to see, how that plays out.
There are also one or two things, where I suspect his engineers were simply too afraid to say "No." to him despite it clearly being off-the-mark solutions.
Especially hyperloop comes to mind. That's just crap.

Back then, John DeLorean had a major advantage: credibility - despite sniggers after revelations that he had plastic surgery to extend his chin and appear more lantern-jawed. DeLorean's reputation was built as general manager of Pontiac, part of the General Motors empire, where he set production records still to be surpassed.

He sensationally resigned in the mid-Seventies and almost immediately announced plans for a new Dream Car, using unleaded fuel and a catalytic converter. No need for welding or resprays - just clip on a new panel; the underbody would be non-rusting lightweight fibreglass; and, with gull- wing doors and a stainless steel body it would look like nothing else on the road.

Governments around the world fought bitterly with each other to offer DeLorean grants to build on their patch. Finally, the search for a virgin site led to Northern Ireland, with Puerto Rico narrowly pipped at the post.
