> Musk is really under a lot of financial pressure

I find it amusing this has become common "knowledge" now, and everyone thinks it will shape his actions.

With Tesla and SpaceX printing money, why does everyone assume he cares about a few billion here or there? it's like you or I losing a few hundred.

Sure are. SpaceX valuation just went up from $150B to $180B, now likely the world's most valuable private company.

Musk owns 42% of it, so just in the last few months his slice went up $12.8B.

Tesla Model Y is now the world's most popular vehicle. Number 2 in the US, soon to be number 1.
