Elon Musk is having a moment. Less than two years after having to mortgage or sell his homes to keep up with his sprawling debt, Elon is back on top with his Tesla, sporting a $386.8 billion market cap as of Monday, set to join the S&P 500 on Dec. 21 of this year, his SpaceX Dragon – the first manned space mission ever by a private company – connecting to the International Space Station, and 900 of his Starlink internet satellites currently floating in Earth’s low-orbit. Hope springs eternal for most entrepreneurs, but for Musk, it appears indefatigable.
