Tesla’s profits were once the envy of the auto industry.

    Hughes built aircraft, cars, dated addresses and owned casinos.

    He is the guy in charge of the spruce goose.

    Are you thinking of Hearst ?

        That’s playboy.

        Howard Hughes is who Tony stark is based on. Fascinating man.

          Yeah, that’s why I thought the Stark comparison was stronger with who we thought Musk was at one time lol.

          I see it now though, now that I understand who you actually meant.

            If you haven’t read about Hughes, do so. It’s interesting to see everything he did and what a celebrity he was. That’s who Elon wanted to be.

            Sadly Hughes died a horrible death. Was very odd as he got older due to his injuries.
