Musk has lost the ability to walk away from his own fate. It's coming and he will lose a huge chunk of his wealth in an attempt to gain control of the Union. He will fail!!!

The ancient Greeks had a name for this: Hubris. Musk basically stole Tesla from its inventors and then proceeded to use it to prop up his “empire.” But when you run a business you stole as if it is your private piggy bank, the world eventually figures out the con. His M.O. as a business operator is to gut the companies he buys and tries to force many fewer workers to do the jobs the original staff did on the cheap. He tries to make sleeping in your office somehow glamorous, when in fact it’s slave labor. He did this at Twitter, at Tesla, and I think at Starlink. Then he’s been doing it with Doggie. At least in the beginning. Everything is torn apart rapidly, carelessly, in a rush. We’ve seen it happen with the government. It’s his “secret” for destroying our federal government and all federal programs he doesn’t like or understand. He’s a rapacious pirate. If we treat him like what he is—an incompetent, yammering carnival barker—and then get the military and police to boot him out, we might be able to save something of value to everyone, but of course we need to get rid of the orange excrescence as well, we might be able to save our country. Maybe. I don’t have a whole lot of hope about any of it.

Increased media attention and hype around a particular asset or market can indicate a bubble, as it often attracts more speculative investors. The Musk bubble persist longer than I've expected.

Over reach has consequences. Felon 47 and his highly complicit corrupt courtiers will also go down the same path.

So now the administration is trying to categorize the vandalism of Teslas as “domestic terrorism” so that a law created after 9/11 would insure and effectively recoup eLons’s losses and save the company. Wow… very sneaky. Wonder if an Congress will do anything about this??
