Elon Musk is worth 264 billion dollars. 264 billion dollars.
If you were born with 264 billion dollars and you spent a million dollars A DAY every day until you died at 100, you would still have OVER 200 BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.
How the fuck is this acceptable? No one should have this much fucking money. And people wonder why we on the left advocate for killing billionaires.
If it makes you feel better, he doesn't have that much money practically speaking. Yes...he's wealthier than you could ever imagine being, but also he basically can't actually touch the vast majority of his wealth in any meaningful way.
He doesn't have that much money. I know this is bait, but some are this retarded. Networth is not income
Alexander Lee
It means he's worth 264 billion dollars in assets, which means that if he liquidated everything he'd have 264 billion dollars. Most people would get like a million, maybe 2 million dollars tops for everything they own. But Elon Musk has way more money than anyone needs in a thousand lifetimes.
Camden Bennett
That's not really how liquidation of assets works. Nobody's like, "Oh a super rich person suddenly wants to sell everything! Let me give them full market value for their belongings!"
Julian Edwards
If he liquidated his assets, he'd crash the market and he'd never get that actual value. Additionally, he still doesn't have that as money. He has whatever he has in his pocket or borrows. If he was able to sell everything and keep it all, I'd still say shut up because he earned it through building a company
Elijah Wilson
Who said "income" before you?
Jace Bailey
Exactly
Owen Gutierrez
You would limit this King to 1 mil a day fuck you poor fag eat shit and die with the rest of the serfs.
That's what's implied by saying he has that as money.
Jaxson Butler
I would spend way more then a million a day poorfag!
Benjamin Sanchez
Wahhhh, wahhhhh, wahhhhhh!!!!!!
Other people aren't allowed to have more than me!!
Wahhhhhh!!!! Wahhhhhh!!!! Wahhhhhhh!!
Blake Gomez
HE COULD GIVE EVERYONE IN THE USA A BILLION DOLLARS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Asher Bailey
That's not how it works. You're thinking of crypto. If billionaires gave away all their money, it would still be worth as much because money is protected by the Federal Reserve. And he didn't "earn" most of that money. He was born to a diamond baron and managed to climb the ladder by exploiting people and making them work long hours and forbidding them from unionizing. Stop simping for billionaires.
Lincoln Morgan
I bet your tune would be different if it was you with the money.
Logan Carter
Correct. No one should be allowed to hog billions of dollars while people are starving.
Camden Jackson
>How the fuck is this acceptable?
because you've never taken an economics course before
you really that retarded? you really think thats how the world works? and why every country has billionaires?
Alexander King
Because dopamine will fuck you in the ass till you bleed out.
John Anderson
Of course it would. If I was king of the world I'd be pretty happy, but I'm still anti-monarchy. People can have beliefs while still being tempted by power.
Eli Collins
And yet you support dumping billions into heckin Ukraine
Josiah Evans

Ryan Richardson
Fucking shut up single-spacing autist
Anthony Torres
>while people are starving
the US has some of the highest rates of obesity
i dare you to find a single death from actual starvation in the states
fuckin moron. how do u believe this shit?
Blake Davis
Ideally we'd fight Russia face-to-face but I'd rather not enter World War III. Or would I?
>Elon is worth 264 billion then why did he have to borrow $20 billion to buy twitter? tesla price dropped almost $200 billion from him cashing 12 billion in shares.
He doesn't actually have that much money and that's why he is pulling this twitter stunt, trying to legitimize tesla money because he's aware of how overpriced and unstable it is.
I bet the twitter deal wont even close. He got what he wanted, turned some public hype into legitimate money without sinking the comany that he knows could easily go under at any time.
Ayden Taylor
You'll never be a real man, basement dweller.
Daniel Ramirez
>And people wonder why we on the left advocate for killing billionaires. You advocate for killing billionaires because that's what "socialist" millionaires told you to do.
I'm saying that it's human nature to be tempted by wealth and power. Most people would be happy if they won the lottery. It takes a very special person to be at the top and give it all away to help others.
Stay jealous. Want more money? Then earn it instead of complaining.
Evan Thompson
Are you a billionaire?
Gavin Jenkins
No but I'm also not complaining. I'm pretty happy where I am financially.
Jaxson Young
Then stop sucking up to people who hate your guts.
Adrian Scott
"user, you don't need that game system. You don't that fancy phone. Other people are starving and homeless and could use that money."
The truth is none of us need any of these extra things. But its pretty ballsy to go up to someone and tell them what they should do with their own money. Say it's not Elon. Your next door neighbor wins Powerball and after taxes has 64 million dollars. Would tell them what to do with their own money?
If yes, why do you need to control other people's money? Everyone is so worried about all the starving and homeless people, yet none of these people have so much as stepped inside a soup kitchen. And don't tell me you need billions to do anything. You could change someone's life by letting them crash on your couch and giving them a pair of socks. Charity begins at home. But its easier to tell someone else what to do.
Carson Foster
I'm not. Nice job completely failing to understand my post at all.
And you're still this retarded? Damn, my condolences. Throwing money at the problem doesn't do anything. Start all the homes and services you want, it won't stop people from being homeless. You'd literally have to buy them things and keep up with the payments.
