Everything he has ever owned was someone else’s “creation” he’s just the $ finder, he doesn’t use his $. Musk made $175M off of PayPal, and I doubt he used a dime.

Musk put about $100mil of his own money into SpaceX in 2012. He has a very high tolerance for risk. I do not think it is fair to downplay the significant positive impact he has had on Tesla and SpaceX. What is also true is that he seems to have evolved into a super troll.
From what I had read he got foreign $ to invest, but I’ll take your word. Yes he is a troll. Jury’s still out on SpaceX, and after all the issues my friend’s have had with their Tesla’s, I’ll stick with my Audi EV. Yes, he’s a troll and more.
There is a workable middle ground. SpaceX has innovated on optimization (reusable rockets etc.) but from a space discovery perspective they are replicating what NASA has already done. I'd be surprised if a commercial company expands exploration. That will still require governments.

If he uses a bank loan, then he can just ask Trump for some government printed dollars to pay his bank back
