So if he died of a heart attack, SpaceX would just implode?

LMAO

Elon Musk is expendable. Punting him would likely improve all important metrics at SpaceX.

And Tesla.

~~>and solar system~~

On second thought that dipshit ain't going interplanetary, even if Mars was made of cocaine.

He might crash something on the Moon at some point.

It wouldn't implode because it's not like his shares just disappear on death. Whoever obtained those shares would have the 10x voting power over the company. So whoever ended up with those shares have full control over SpaceX.

Yeah, he is 54. Which means that he has maybe two, three, or with good health care (that he can afford) four decades left on this planet. So if everything hinges on him without a successor, he's doing something wrong.

He's taking so much ketamine he pisses himself at the Whitehouse. Very likely he will Matthew Perry himself in a hot tub.
