Wait Musk is still such a strong first place? I thought with twitter bombing, people starting to dislike Tesla, general weird behavior, he was losing quite a bit? I'm probably way out of touch but isn't someone catching uo to him?

Tesla shares constitute something like 70% of Elon's total fortune. Twitter is overall not that relevant for his big picture wealth, and weird behavior even less so.

At the moment Tesla's stock price is in decline because of competition from China and the overall EV market not growing as fast, so Bezos or somebody else could indeed overtake Musk in the near term. But this could easily change again next month, the stock market is fickle.

It so cool that you can buy your way into an existing company that already had talent and an idea, and then become among the richest people in the world...

Wait sorry, Hard Work™©® yeah... That's what he did... Hard Work...

Oh there was hard work involved. His daddy's emerald mine money worked very hard to get him where he is. And the slaves in those mines worked very hard to build daddy's money.
