All Elon has to do is... nothing. He doesn't have to come up with 'hilarious' tweets, he doesn't have to make an everything app, he doesn't need to run any of his companies. He could retire right now and just do whatever he felt like in his private life.
But he's such a needy little attention whore that he won't do that.
If he does not want to be in charge of a non-profitable company, why bring the responsibility upon himself? Oh yes, because Tesla is involved in scandals and any investment is better than that.
You're saying all that as if he couldn't have done the very same thing like 25 years ago back in the 90s. Technically, he never had to become an "entrepreneur" in the first place.... daddy's apartheid emerald mine gave him a cushy little trust fund to live off for the rest of his life without anyone ever knowing anything about him. But sadly, he's a spoiled little bitch who throws a tantrum when the media spotlight is off him for longer than 5 minutes.
