There is another way to look at it.

How much of the Tesla valuation is due to Musk? 20, 30, 50, 90%?

Each stunt like this makes which ever percentage that is a bit bigger.

What happens if or more like when Musk retires from Tesla to focus on SpaceX or another company? He’s running effectively 4 companies atm Tesla, SolarCity, SpaceX and the Boring Company eventually he could want or will have to focus on fewer ventures.

Tesla is effectively the only public traded company if he leaves the stock can tank and tank to the point where it would put them in serious trouble.
