    He’s the richest man on Earth, for a con man that qualifies as decent at least.

      It’s no feat for a rich guy to make money, cons or not. At a certain level of wealth society is designed so you essentially can’t lose money (unless you directly transfer all of your assets to a Bernie Madoff type or something similar).

      A real con man has to have some level of skill, but Elon never had to learn to do anything competently in his entire existence.

      If the only requirement to making stupid levels of money was being good at something, there would be a lot more millionaires i ln the world, and elon would be dirt poor.
