I like the graph at the bottom of the article but it really still doesn't show just how rich he really is.

A million seconds is about 11 days whereas a billion seconds is about 32 years. He has a phenomenal amount of money.

for example:

$100,000 is a pretty good annual salary but if you gave Elon Musk that amount every day you would have to start paying him long before the Pyramids were built to even get close to the $212 Billion he is supposedly worth now.

It is an absurd amount of money, far too hard for the average person to get their head around.

I'm sure he has plenty of people helping him to spend it!

I just don’t get it.
They constantly target Elon Musk BUT they do it on a platform that Musk owns. If they don’t like him, why the Hell are they using his platform?
They mention the Star link satellite system which Musk owns. He blocked it in Crimea because as he said, “it wasn’t to be used for military purposes”.

Quite surprising, seeing he is a complete plonker in so many other ways.

We have a serious labour shortage here now, they’ve got to built more homes. Taxi drivers, barbers, nail shop workers & takeaway operatives are demanding it.
Musks response to them on X was short & sweet.......”swivel” 😂


I like the bloke, he’s done a lot for this world & I reckon there’s much more to come.
I’m a real he/him.

It’s right what they say, success breeds jealousy.

I was referring to his political alignment and ideology.
But yes, I can confirm that some people are jealous of me.

Musk is a worrying person

There’s plenty who think the same way as you Bruce. Many of which don’t want  to openly be challenged on a social platforms. They themselves though, want to be the only ones doing the posting.
I’m not on X but just look who is, everybody who’s anybody in the political world.
X, Facebook & the like have all become political tools IMO. They want the electorate to read their posts BUT not to challenge said posts.
