He doesn't need or want it to make money, he's got South African mine money that he didn't earn to waste. It's a toy, one he knows other people like, so he's currently taping M80s to it just to be a dick, because he feels he can and that he's entitled to.

Now the question: is Elon such a dick that even his own father won't speak to him, or is Elon's father such an even bigger raging dick that Elon won't speak to him? I shudder to think how awful he'd have to be for that...
Two narcissistic scum bags attempting to sleep with everyone on the planet can't possibly get along.
His father definitely isn't a nice person either
