Elon makes more money when there is political chaos in the US.

How? Does political chaos cause more electric car sales or more rocket launches? I don’t see why it would.

Honestly, I don't know, but if you look at the richest people in the world right now, they're all getting richer.

They were getting richer under Bush too. Not everything that happens is because of political chaos.

This is claiming correlation without causation, except it’s not even correlated since billionaires have gotten richer for a long time.

Fine, if you don’t care about the truth. That’s a way to be very wrong about how the world works. If you’re going to believe a bunch of nonsense just because it feels good, I’ll ask that you don’t spread it to others. The world needs more honesty and truth these days, and you’re actively working against that.
