Cannot just transplant one company's situation to another. Market tolerated Musk because its Musk. Musk has several unique qualities:
- He has track record of making bets in the past and payoff.
- He is way better at working in hardware space than software. His ai data center built out is very fast.
- He is similar to Zuck that he would pivot fast towards whatever is making money. The llm bet might not pan out as good as he thought, but he quickly transitioned into a compute seller
- He is very good at financial engineering. This is an often overlooked quality of musk. His spacex ipoed at the best time and beat both anthropic/openai to the market. Now the other 2 are trapped in the current financial situation.
One more: he is literally the richest man in the world
