Stenner: I’m one of Elon Musk’s biggest fans. That’s exactly why this has to be said.
The Tony Stark of our generation has achieved the genuinely impossible — and created a concentration of power, pay and key-man risk that should keep every serious investor awake at night.
Let me be clear about something before you read another word: I am one of Elon Musk’s biggest fans. Full stop. I believe he is the Tony Stark of our era—the most consequential entrepreneur alive.

I would put him on the Mount Rushmore of business visionaries without hesitation.
And it is precisely because I hold him in such high regard that I feel compelled—as a fiduciary, as someone who has spent decades managing serious money for serious people—to say what most of his admirers are too dazzled to articulate clearly:
He is now, simultaneously, the greatest concentration risk in modern investing.
