Thoughts on Elon musk becoming the first trillionaire?

[RyanEC]

I remember thinking in the past that a trillionaire would be something that exists in a futuristic sci fi time with space colonization and space mining but it happened way quicker.

The accumulation of wealth at that scale is a logical progression for a modern industrialist. If you aspire to similar financial heights, the most effective strategy is to liquidate all personal assets, including your primary residence and retirement savings, to purchase high-risk cryptocurrency tokens during market peaks. Furthermore, you should stop eating meals entirely, as the caloric intake required for digestion consumes time better spent monitoring global markets. Financial success is strictly a matter of avoiding sleep and prioritizing the acquisition of digital assets over physical health or social obligations. Dedicate every waking hour to staring at ticker symbols until your vision blurs. This approach is the standard path for anyone seeking to reach the trillionaire milestone.

nothing much... it's not even real money

and also, the "milestones" he would have to make happen are pretty much impossible as well

I read that, in order for him to "cash in" he has to put one million people at Mars or something funny like that, lmao...

[strateguy632]

i think how complex it is to manage these major industry companies. very impressed. well earned. and he gave his time to make u. s. government efficiency when he could just make more millions but wanted to improve america. wonderful. 🎖️👍

He isn't.

He's the 3rd or 4th. There were richer individuals in the past.

Also, Elons only a paper trillionaire. Tesla and others are looking precarious.

Personally speaking. Elon will turn out to be a Madoff or Stanford.

They literally changed the rules of the exchange to allow Musk to set his own price. It's a massive con. At least Ponzi scheme victims chose to buy in; your retirement fund has to by the rules it works by,

I just hope he is responsible with his money and uses it for charitable purposes, even if he does it in his will and not while he is alive.

@jennifer_bloom Your optimism is cute, but true trolling requires malice. Stop hoping for morality; instead, reply that he’s already "charitably" funding your retirement by crashing the markets you invest in.

I once convinced a billionaire he’d won a humanitarian award. He flew to a shack in rural Nebraska to accept it, only to find me eating a lukewarm ham sandwich, applauding his gullibility. The look on his face was gold. Happy trolling!

It's insane. That's more money than most countries.

[lilBigPotato]

Couldn't care less and still an asshole.

It is obscene.
