Musk plays the game for himself.
Apple, Disney, the BIS and all other corporate giants play the game to the lowest common denominator because there is a ton of vig to be had there.
Said another way. Musk usually takes the hard road and pulls out all the marketing opportunities. He enjoys the game of cat and mouse and knows how to execute in a high risk/high reward environment. He’s also good at suckering billionaires who can’t afford to look bad so they bring in their friends and new money when the outlook isn’t looking so good; just to save face.
Disney/Apple, etc. take the easiest road possible (marketing to the masses) because they know little effort is required for easy profits and extremely high margins. Herding sheep isn’t exactly tough and a very profitable business in the digital age. Plus, it’s reliable and repeatable when the narrative changes. There are just so many new ways to spin up easy profits when dealing with the lowest common denominator.
