> It's conceivable that TSLA shareholders could interpret Elon Musk acquiring more political influence as good for TSLA

For that they would have to see through Musk's grift. Most retail TSLA holders are Musketeers and they truly believe that he is a visionary genius. To them, fluff like Twitter doesn't matter when they have the real life Tony Stark at the helm.



Believing Musk is a visionary genius scarcely seems inconsistent with believing Musk owning Twitter will be advantageous for Musk companies.


Genius doesn't need publicity. Its influence is inevitable.


I bet for every genius that becomes publicly known, there are at least 10 who are never heard publicly.


It doesn't seem very genius to fight with one hand tied behind your back just because you can.
