Because he could afford to do that.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Perhaps, but I cannot recommend a person throwing away tens of millions of dollars like that. If Tesla goes bankrupt or has a huge correction, Musk is broke. He's basically like Zuckerberg according to the 10k filings. 99% of his net worth is in the stock. That goes belly up, they're both SOL. What they do is take a margin loan against their holdings and borrow against it to live. Remember, they are only paid a buck a year and neither company pays a dividend. That is how they live, through stock appreciation and margin.
He plays his narratives well on twitter to boost his stock.
I don't think his manufacturering business yields much profits.

Yea, and it cost him his Chairmanship. Smart...
Doesn't matter about the building of profits. He owns shares worth 20 billion + dollars. He margins this and he lives off that. That is one of the reasons how he's able to fund SpaceX. He pledged his shares. Larry Ellison does the same

Trust when I say I know what I am talking about..
I sold all of my shares with his company.
I don't buy what he's saying on twitter but others obviously does.
Still he's a brilliant man with a vision.

Being a cuck and brilliant are two completely different things. Bill Gates is a brilliant genius. I do not see he getting screwed over by women.
I agree that Bill Gates is brilliant but he's no playboy and he's no visionary in the same breath as Elon.
Elon Musk started 2 companies that under normal circumstances would not have succeeded much less taken off had it not been for his brilliance and vision.
That said, he cannot be compared to a programmer which is basically what Bill is.
