I agree that the counter makes no sense. There's just no way to put it into any perspective other than "that's a lot of money for me as a person". The graphics I thought was witty though. Lets face it, Musk does a lot of publicity stunts like selling 20 000 flamethrowers, and using them in the graphics I thought was rather witty.
That said, I just don't know what to make of Tesla. The deposits schemes, financials etc, I just can't make my mind up if it is doing good or bad. On the other hand, a cult of personality that worships a guy building rockets, electric vehicles and so on seems preferable to many of the other celebrity cults around today. Lets hope a lot of people don't lose a bunch of money on it, I guess.
