Elon Musk is about to be worth 300 Billion dollars.

- Start date
I don't think there's a "point". He's a majority shareholder in what might turn out to be America's highest valued company. His wealth is a function of the company's success and right now Tesla is going gangbusters.
I used to like this guy cuz he's a juggalo but he's starting to come across as just as evil as all the other billionaires are

He's sitting at 292 Billion right now
I'm all for capitalism but that is obscene
How can you be for capitalism but see this is a problem?

He'll most likely get that"favor" as well
Crazy! SMH
Breh probably pays less in taxes than I do. In this country, we fawn over the rich/wealthy because we all secretly think that'll be us one day.
I don't even know if I'd want THAT much money. I'm not greedy (not saying he is) and I'm a pretty simple guy. That kind of wealth is damn near absurd

HE ISN'T MAD ABOUT TAXES. HE IS MAD ABOUT WHERE HIS TAXES GO. I CAN'T REALLY BLAME HIM.
BILLIONAIRES GET TAX BREAKS THROUGH DONATIONS AND ECONOMY BUILDING INCENTIVE PROGRAMS. REMOVING THOSE TAX INCENTIVE PROGRAMS AND TAXING THEM WILL PUT THE SOLE BURDEN OF APPROPRIATION ON THE GOVERNMENT.
ALL THAT MONEY THAT YOU SEE THE RICH DONATING GOES POOF. IT GOES INTO THE FEDERAL BUDGET WHERE LOBBYISTS PULL THE STRINGS. THE MONEY WILL END UP WITH SOME DEFENSE CONTRACTOR WHILE FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS GETS DECREASED FURTHER.

Isn't it?
And the poorest people in the country will defend his wealth to the death. Crazy.
starlink has barely taken off but it'll be huge. internet in rural areas and even the most remote places on earth.
the worldwide government contracts from that service allone will bring hundreds of million annually.

I always feel like these "net worth" things are misleading to general public.
Because if something cost 2 billion dollars there is a big chance Elon Musk couldn't go into any of his bank accounts and buy that thing lol. Like, could Musk purchase the Dallas Cowboys straight up, no help? Maybe, I could be wrong...
These guys worth are tied up in the stocks, and they couldn't liquidate all of the stock since thats illegal and would crash the market. Like ole Zuck, Bezos etc...they do not have $150 billion of touchable money lol...
Hey, what do I know....
