Elon Musk is without doubt a controversial character , in 20 years will Elon wield more power or less power and why ?

[molonski2]

The one that Pay Pal let get away.

So , I don't think you can doubt his intelligence and commitment , its obviously far more than just the money , but controversy always follows Elon , the Twitter purchase? and Why? calling the Cave driver from the UK who helped save the children in Thailand a pedophile. Tesla is sure something , But is it really worth its market cap? If you say " Yes " and more , then you really are backing this guy.

So , how will it look 20 years from now? Its not like there will not be other electric vehicles , and it appears his guy would happily risk it all. The genius that paypal let get away? Or a self indulgent fool? He sure has something , opinions please?

Is Elon a genius or is he purely ego driven? In 20 years - Will he be a world King? What about the Twitter purchase? good / bad?

Hard to say. He's 52 and may not be around another 20 years.

[molonski2]

Thats possible , but barring a tragedy we could expect there is a big chance he will be around.

For the way he's going right now. It all depends. Because he's the technological phenom of the 21th century. So we got to wait and see what happens 😀😬

Elon lacks focus. Like buying Twitter on a whim didn't work out for him. He's not as influential as he thinks he is.

[molonski2]

But he may well be if he pulls off all this other stuff? Will Tesla be bigger in real terms than microsoft?

[AngryCarl2]

I doubt it, but time will tell.

I have my doubts about Tesla also --
