The truly terrifying thing is that someone could short the Musk companies, and with one bullet can cause them to drop 50-90% right away (thanks to meme-ness). And they are valued so high that such a person could make billions overnight, maybe 10s of billions. Terrifying to be Must or anyone that shares a car or plane with him.
