I am an investor, and I have not lost trust (temporarily degraded perhaps, but certainly not irreparably!).

I also take the long view; Elon is instrumental to the long-term outcome for Tesla, our species, and our planet.

You sound a bit like Doctor Strange here. Sure he's made some bold moves intended to steer us toward a better future, but the fate of civilization does not rest on his shoulders.

Unless we make him President. Don't make him President.

President of what? The United States? He was born in South Africa so that's not going to happen.

The fate of civilization depends on the individuals that share his trait - the trait to desire most strongly a bountiful and amazing future - knowing that they will be able to successfully build companies such as Tesla and SpaceX without ruthless persecution by the government, the media, and short sellers.
