I am too. He's been successful so far, but it seems to me that at some point, he will be overextending himself, and will start to run into more failures. As a Tesla shareholder, I wish he would focus on making sure that company is successful. Just Tesla, with its car, power, and battery divisions, is a huge project for one person to manage.

Well, if the Neuralink works then it will probably make everything else easier.

Maybe he already has a Neuralink for himself, is a cyborg, and is just doing a parallel construction of it now.

Elon is not the first to take on so many ventures at once. Richard Branson has done it with overwhelming positive results (some losses are bound to happen). It seems that after a certain point, an entrepreneur that is so inclined gets more effective at putting the right processes in place so that they're no longer a bottleneck at the management level.

"...he will be overextending himself..." Perhaps - Robert Browning:
