How many people would trust Elon Musk with their banking details? I doubt enough to make the $44 billion worth it.

Yeah, how bad does it reflect on someone's credit report if they don't pay their rent and other bills for many months?

Maybe that sort of thing doesn't count on the credit report for a billionaire (because they don't have to follow any rules), but it counts for most people.

I wouldn't even trust a thin dime with Elon Musk given the way he operates.

I wouldn't trust Musk to tell me the time of day without double-checking on at least three other clocks to make sure.
