    Elon dies? What is the Tesla corporate structure? Is it prepared to carry on into the future? What about the new corporation...Space-X and AI based?

    Same thing that happens if the president dies or most any corporate leader .... there's some order of succession set up in the articles.

    I don't know. But maybe it will be someone with a name that sounds like a perfume or cologne. Maybe it'll be Mr. Mliron Scent.

    EM dies. Who gets his shares, what is the succession plan for each of the companies? What chaos reigns? What happens to the stock price? Does the interrregnum disrupt the flow of contracts on which Space-x depends? Since the market is propped up by the big 5, does the drop in one's price pull all the indexes down? What is the public reaction to the 401Ks wiped out?

    thoughts that never gp through my mind. maybe cause I only own 30 shares, and will never again consider a Tesla or support any of his taxpayer funded projects as long as he's there. I don't care how smart he is

    He won’t care and neither will I. I traded my ‘no dividend’ TSLA stock for a solar roof.

    I still have a Tesla but there are credible, independent repair and alternatives. His commitment to my 2019 Tesla and its AutoPilot/Full Self Driving is fading.

    Still a bright guy for engineering projects but a sucker for every Twitter confidence man. A real life version of the Dennis Hoffman character in “Rain Man.” He still can’t give up on Trump or any other Twitter huckster.
