One thinks his personality is what won him over and will keep all the support of his followers and one thinks he’s the smartest person in the room and his correctness will show that he deserves all his followers.
It’s cult leader narcissist vs cult leader narcissist. They don’t even have to get to policy before the breakdown occurs.

Tesla produces primarily stock market manipulation schemes, cars secondly…
The value isn’t tied to the cars they produce now, so it doesn’t matter how many cars they actually sell.
