If we would assume that musk's wealth is $400,000 then spending $20m is just $20.

To us this is massive amount for him it is $20.

And he bought US president for just $300.

Hopefully with Tesla stock crashing, this can be a reality

[–] Andr3w222@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

hopefully it will be $0.00000

Damn, that's a lot of zeroes. How do you even pronounce that? Brazillion? Vermillion? /s

Hope so too, unfortunately SpaceX apparently is worth even more and we don't have as much influence in their revenue.

Fine, he lost twenty bucks then, Im thrilled.

I hope the anxiety causes him to smoke his entire ketamine stash in one sitting.

There's a way to smoke ketamine? I don't know, I just ate it once and apparently it was the wrong way to do it

I think people like him are so addicted to power and wealth, that I wouldn't be surprised he would off himself if net worth would drop to millions.

Though with that much of wealth, I think no matter what he will do he will be a billionaire.

If we ever restore democracy, we need to concentrate on destroying oligarchies, apparently this already happened twice.

I honestly have no idea lol.

You're the second person to call out my narc ass.

Technically his total wealth has declined to about $342 Bn, and technically that is only if he sold off all of his assets namely his Tesla stocks, at which point it would instantly become less than $342 Bn due to the market's fast acting supply/demand price setting.

At any given time you should assume Musk has less than $30 Bn liquidity, which is still a fucking lot.

Also, he bought Twitter so you can say he spent a lot more than $300 to elect Trump. $300 was just his campaign contributions.

It’s okay. He still has billions more to piss away.
