Doesn't sound like this is the case with Elon.
You gotta look at his history. He was prepared to blow at least half his wealth back in the day just to raise hype for Mars in order to encourage the gubment's increasing NASA's funding 'cause he'd dreamed for a long time about our colonising the planet as a survival-insurance policy.
Heck, he doesn't even believe in patents except in cases where R&D money needs to be recouped first before making IP public-domain. He says, "Patents are for pussies".
It's obvious the guy's driven by passion. A definite outlier in the realm of billionaires.
That's not to say that I disagree with your statement; I reckon it'd apply in 99%+ of cases.
I think Elon is probably losing his mind if he's losing money. He is an eccentric who is jacked up on Ketamine and he has been acting irrationality which explains a lot of things. I do admit he does have a passion...for white supremacy especially after his Roman salute a while back.
