It's telling that someone who gets a windfall immediately purchases a status symbol. Almost as if the point of being rich is lost if everyone doesn't know it.
Wealth is wasted on the rich.
The McLaren F1 was a real drivers car, not a status symbol. At least when it was released, sadly it has become an overpriced collectors item today.
But I highly doubt Elon bought it because he was a car enthusiast and planned to drive it hard
He got it because it was the fastsest car in the world at the time and he wanted the "best" regardless of anything else.
