According to Tesla (and SpaceX) fans, Musk is the company. He not only makes strategic decisions, but is also involved in day to day engineering development. The valuation of the company is driven by Musk's social media behavior; certainly, there's no rational economic reason.

One person's impact is the reason for Tesla, no?

by "According to Tesla (and SpaceX) fans" you mean some random tweet I read one time?
