And I'm sure I've read somewhere that the loan he took from JP Morgan to buy twitter used Tesla (and space x?) as collateral? So if that's not paid, he loses Tesla shares, and as the value of them (the shares) goes down he loses more and more of them.
Obviously he's never going to go to zero himself, but he's at financial risk I believe.

I don't think the "financially" bit matters at all to him.
Even if it tanks completely, and he sinks another ~$50bn into the flames, he's still got ~$100bn.
Halving my wealth would leave me and my family quite fucked. Halving his wealth is nothing for him (ego aside).
