Fun fact: Elon musk is the model for Robert Downey jr when he was seeking inspiration for the portrayal of Tony stark

So, what’s the link besides the above?
How about we do a Marvel what if scenario?
What if, Elon musk do a Tony stark and snapped Putin out of existence to end the Russian invasion?
What if, Elon musk’s plane was even tracked by Russian spies? What if Elon musk got close to Black Widow/ Black widows?
Does the image of Elon Musk not being around worry the $Tesla investors?
I can imagine myself being a Tesla shareowner, and getting a coma for 10 years.
When I wake up, if I see Elon musk in coma beside me, I will likely go transfer my hospital bed to a coffin instead.
Elon Musk is the visionary, chief tech officer and innovator for Tesla, SpaceX and his other pursuits.
He is like a 1 man army who creates miracle after miracle. But through it all, perhaps we do need to remind ourselves that he is human after all.
I realised when I searched online, I am not the only one who saw this potential issue:

The purpose of this post is to bring awareness of potential risk of going all in on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and thinking about going to the moon by doing so.
I do agree that $TSLA is growing rapidly and as such will achieve higher profitability and get even better earnings. However, the valuation is a great concern.
If a black swan event happens to Elon musk, the current valuation of $TSLA is not going to be sustainable. $TSLA is already being valued at several times P/E ratio of the big tech players.
We may think that such an event won’t happen.
Perhaps, we can ask $Apple(AAPL)$ shareholders how they felt when Steve jobs had gotten cancer.
The fortunate thing was that Steve jobs managed to stick around from the time he announced he is sick in 2004 until he passed away at 2011, giving Apple and Tim Cook time for succession planning.
I do agree that there is definitely a bull case for $TSLA, especially with Germany plant opening.
But I hope that $TSLA shareholders do consider that there are other issues besides just looking at fundamental numbers and technical analysis.
We need to have high convictions for the shares that we want to own. However for those who strongly believe in allocating 80-100% of funds into 1 stock, I sincerely hope that due diligence is done and that there is proper risk management in place.
Avoiding over leverage and not using money that is needed for day to day living are part of proper risk management.
For those who have profited during the current run, could the current rally be a good chance to take some profit, rebalance portfolio and find a better price to re-enter into $TSLA?
Above are just my 2 cents, and again I could be very wrong.
At the end of day, what determines our success, doesn’t depend on our capital, our knowledge, our skills or what other YouTubers/financial bloggers/gurus say, but lies on the decisions that we make as an investor/trader for every single buy and sell order.
May our investments bear fruits For the future. [Serious]

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is already facing an issue with key man risk.
Whereby, the company's success and performance rest mainly on his shoulders.
If anything happens to him, it's all hell breaks loose. Which I had highlighted before in a previous post.
Adding on 1 more $Twitter(TWTR)$ which isn't even a core component to his SpaceX, Tesla and other ventures will only be adding to even more key man risk.
Let's hope that Elon Musk can live a long and healthy life....
