Maturity
Musk now has his two main companies of Space X and Tesla. Though more people are interested in Tesla. Under Musk, Tesla began to become a more known company and many people were interested in buying a electric car. Though very expensive, people with the money began to buy the cars. -
Decline
In July 2018 Elon sent a group of engineers to Thailand to assist in a rescue of a children's soccer team stranded in a cave. He had a child sized submarine built. It was not used in the rescue. A few of the divers assisting in the rescue called it impractical. Elon then retorted with many less than appropriate comments about a diver. He had to apologize and was threatened 57,000 euros in fees due to the defamation. -
Decision Point
Elon Musk's behavior has become slightly more erratic. Doing things people would not think he'd do, from changing his twitter name to "Elon Tusk" for a short while to match the jokes about his last name. To hosting a show on the most popular YouTube channel. Though he did clean up his act from the Thailand incident, he has not yet regained the same respect he had prior to that.
