Musk has said and shown repeatedly that he'd put his last dollar into SpaceX (and probably Tesla), so he's not a great example here.


Not sure about that. He maintains very luxurious lifestyle. His continuous investment in Tesla could be seen more as an effort to maintain full / majority shareholder control of the company. I don’t think he would sell his house and invest the money in Tesla. He would still be rich even if Tesla goes bankrupt. Plus he has billionaire family members as a fallback.


Who are Musk's billionaire family members?


His brother is a billionaire also I believe (not as rich as Elon but still that’s a nice safety net to have).
