I wonder if that includes his new xAI venture, thought to be valued at least $10 billion. With one analyst even saying it could even have a valuation of $20 to $30 Billion.
I am sure they took it into account, but as your post illustrates, it is not always a trivial task valuing these entities.
Looks like he comes from a line of crazy: ‘He’s my son, not Zeus’ Elon Musk’s dad Errol looks back on relationship after being portrayed as villain in CEO’s book https://www.the-sun.com/news/9875405/elon-musks-dad-errol-rollercoaster-year-relationship/ ELON Musk’s dad has looked back on a rollercoaster year that saw the pair air their differences before reuniting for the first time in seven years. Retired electromechanical engineer Errol, 77, revealed that he met with three of his young grandchildren for the first time when he linked up with Elon at a SpaceX launch in Texas last month. The surprise reunion came after the pair had publicly expressed several points of contention between them throughout 2023. Errol was left furious after he was portrayed as the villain in his son’s life in a bestselling authorized biography of the Tesla CEO. He disputed several of the claims made by author Walter Isaacson, who shadowed Elon for two years for his book but allegedly only spoke to Errol over the phone. Earlier in the year Errol insisted that - contrary to Elon’s public denials - he can prove he once owned an emerald mine in Zambia and used the proceeds to help the X owner and his younger brother Kimbal. Errol also told of his fears that he is going to be “crucified” in an upcoming biopic about Elon’s life. Although their relationship has remained tense, just before Thanksgiving and while visiting the U.S., Errol received the invite to SpaceX’s Starship launch in Boca Chica. Errol says that it meant he was able to meet his three-year-old grandson X Æ A-12, Elon’s eldest of three kids with musician Grimes, for the first time. He was also introduced to Shivon Zilis, who is a director at Elon’s Neuralink firm, and the one-year-old twins, Strider and Azure, who she shares with him. Asked if seeing Elon again had been an early Christmas present, Errol said: “The invitation from Elon was very nice, but not the best Christmas of my life. “Elon is my son, not Zeus or something. We have shared many times together. “This was special though, as he introduced me to Shivon, his twins with her and Xex. “Shivon is a very pleasant lady. It was a very warm meeting all around. “The kids sat on my knees as I sat on a low couch next to Elon. “Elon’s well-being is what concerns me. “I wish him strength of mind and strength of body in the time ahead.” The last time Errol had been with his son was in 2016 in Cape Town, South Africa, when Elon, 52, and his brother Kimbal, 51, celebrated their dad’s 70th birthday with him. He received the surprise invite to SpaceX’s Starbase facility while spending time with his ex-wife Heide and their two daughters Alexandra and Rose in Austin. Errol told The U.S. Sun in September that he fears that his firstborn son could be assassinated for going up against the U.S. government. He also hit back at claims in a bombshell report in The New Yorker that his son is on drugs and suffering from mental health issues. Errol told The U.S. Sun in June that he believes Elon has put himself in a "no-win situation" with a proposed cage fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. He said that the “humiliation would be total” for Elon if he loses against Zuckerberg. Errol also revealed that the proposed fight had been put in jeopardy by an old neck injury Elon suffered while skiing in Austria. Errol also slammed an AI-generated pic of his son as “totally inaccurate” and shared childhood photos to prove his point. Earlier this year, Errol told The U.S. Sun that his son is a "force for good" who believes that the internet would have been invented by the year 1900 if Napoleon Bonaparte hadn’t been defeated. Last year The U.S. Sun revealed Errol had fathered a child with his stepdaughter Jana Bezuidenhout, and that he had been asked to donate sperm to impregnate high-class women in Colombia.
From the "yeah, sure" department: Elon Musk’s dad Errol claps back at claims that Tesla CEO is ‘on drugs and has mental health issues’ in shock report https://www.the-sun.com/news/8984039/elon-musk-dad-errol-response-drug-claims/ A deep dive on the tech tycoon published last week by The New Yorker magazine linked Musk’s “erratic behavior to efforts to self-medicate.” The pugnacious piece by Hollywood scion Ronan Farrow repeated claims from 2018 that Tesla board members had expressed concern about Musk’s use of sleep aid Ambien. It also stated that several people familiar with Musk’s habits had confirmed that he microdoses ketamine, which can be taken both as a depression treatment or a party drug. The article pointed back to the moment Musk smoked pot on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast in 2018, which led to a NASA safety review of SpaceX. Meanwhile, an unnamed close colleague was quoted opining that 52-year-old Elon's “life just sucks” due to the stress of running multiple highly successful and demanding businesses. Musk’s retired electromechanical engineer dad Errol, 77, believes the claims are all part of a broader attack by Elon’s enemies. He even appeared to link them to recent legal moves by the US government to go after Elon’s business interests. Asked about the article, Errol exclusively told The U.S. Sun from his home in South Africa: “It’s a very worrying hit job on Elon, filled with blatant inaccuracies. “Subject to the same scrutiny, 99.9 percent of those who view Elon in the light of this article would be condemned outright as a danger to society. “The speculation that Elon has mental health issues and may be self-medicating with Ambien and ketamine is more hitting on him for made-up reasons to score points for the 'liberals'. “What is suggested is utter BS. From start to finish. “We are people who cannot stomach alcohol, are completely averse to smoking, and are almost totally averse to medications, including drugs of any sort. “The Joe Rogan thing caught Elon off balance. “Not wanting to look prudish on such a show, he took the puff, which experts said did not include inhaling, thank heavens, as Elon would have coughed the show to a close.” 'SHADOW RULE' Elon has neither confirmed nor denied whether he uses ketamine but said earlier this year that, from what he’s seen from friends, it is a better option for treating depression than SSRIs. Musk has previously hinted at using sleep disorder treatment Ambien with booze, which is considered dangerous by addiction specialists. In June 2017 he tweeted: "A little red wine, vintage record, some Ambien ... and magic!" He was photographed while drinking from a wine glass at the soccer World Cup final in Qatar last year and has admitted enjoying red wine and whiskey. After he appeared to smoke a blunt on Joe Rogan’s show he said: “I do not smoke pot. As anyone who watched that podcast can tell I have no idea how to smoke pot, or anything.” Yet Musk has also been associated with the number 420, which is cannabis culture slang for marijuana. Farrow’s article - titled “Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule” - claimed that anonymous associates of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO had suggested that his ketamine use had “escalated in recent years.” The piece added that “alongside his isolation and increasingly embattled relationship with the press, [it] might contribute to his tendency to make chaotic and impulsive statements and decisions.” Farrow - who is the son of award-winning filmmakers Woody Allen and Mia Farrow - also quoted a leading ketamine researcher about its effects. Slamming the claims, Errol pointed again to his family’s aversion to drugs in general. He said: “As parents, we were very wary of inoculations, preferring to say no if possible. “When we traveled abroad, I had great difficulty convincing Elon especially to take yellow fever and other shots. In fact, Elon refused. “So it’s nonsense from top to bottom, no doubt intended as part of the attempted softening up of opinion before coming at Elon with the big guns. “They will lose but I fear for Elon very much.” Errol’s words echoed his son’s own response to the New Yorker piece, which saw him tell his 155m followers on X: “Tragic that Ronan Farrow is a puppet of the establishment and against the people.” 'BRAZEN AND EXPANSIVE' Farrow, 35, centers much of his criticism of Musk on disputes over the use of his Starlink satellite internet service by Ukraine during its ongoing war with Russia. He also claims that Musk’s “influence is more brazen and expansive” than the previous “meddling of oligarchs and other monied interests in the fate of nations.” The article was published just three days before the Department of Justice sued Musk’s SpaceX for allegedly discriminating against asylum recipients and refugees in hiring. On Wednesday, it further emerged that federal prosecutors are also probing Tesla’s alleged use of company funds to build Musk a mansion in Texas. The legal moves come after Joe Biden suggested in July that Musk could be investigated for buying Twitter with the help of a Saudi Arabian conglomerate. Asked if Musk was a threat to national security, the president said: “Elon Musk’s cooperation and/or technical relationships with other countries is worthy of being looked at. “Whether or not he is doing anything inappropriate, I’m not suggesting that. “I’m suggesting they’re worth being looked at and that’s all I’ll say. “There’s a lot of ways.” Farrow’s also referred to Elon’s at times difficult relationship with his dad and claims of physical abuse made by Elon’s mom Maye against Errol. Addressing the allegations, Errol told The U.S. Sun: “I never ever attacked Maye physically or in any way at all. “I loved her dearly. The idea is preposterous.”
That is hilarious, his 77 year old dad's sperm is still in high demand. As women look for the chance to father the next Elon..
Another day, another hit piece. If you read through it, it is basically a nothing article filled with a lot of speculations. Even they got the BFR thing wrong. BFR was always referring to Big F*cking Rocket. Only Shotwell used Big Falcon Rocket in some of her interviews to avoid the F word.
