we are discussing brands ------------ and, IMO - brand Musk is now famous
it will matter not much if the US does whatever it does - Musk will be globally followed and he will raise funds for any idea that he can get the concept across that's big enough.
that's branding
look through history at brands ---------- Da Vinci - no one cares a hoot if his inventions made money or not - what people focus on is - what did he do
Musk will go down in history for what he's done ----- and, assuming he finalises some of the things he's begun - like Space X, Nuralink ( a huge thing) - those are the ones he will be remembered for
I doubt if he'll be much remembered for the cars or for paypal - but, the others - oh yeah
and, should he live long enough and the creative energy stick around - he's not done yet
