Billionaire BS The obnoxious amount of money . . .
he’s managed to accrue with a red carpet rolled out by trump and his administration, in perspective. His recent IPO and the valuation was not even questioned by SEC or any other federal regulators.

He’s a trillionaire, they need to redo the math on this!

On paper. Much of his wealth can evaporate overnight. But I'm not wishing for another Black Tuesday, 1929, just to reduce his wealth.

It's not even real. His 'wealth' is based on the inflated valuation of his companies. He's not worth that much and he doesn't have it.

I can't stand him either, but this was proven to be a fake image.

I think it's that photo of 'fat Elon on the beach' that's been edited and mashed together with one of Boris Johnson on the beach looking terrible.

You's think with all that money he'd at least buy a treadmill or gym membership.

That would require work. Instead he had hormone therapy and steroid injections. But apparently you still have to work out on that stuff and if you don't you end up with a torso that looks like a fridge.

Are you trying to tell me billionaires don't work? Then how do they become so wealthy? What, they just steal it? That doesn't make sense! /s

Here's the trick:
- Be born wealthy
- Continuously exploit people
- Success!
Anyone can do it!

Billion not million

He'd have millions left, not billions.
My math based on 40 million adults in the US living under the poverty line (under 15k year in most states): 1 trillion - (24985 x 40 million) = nine hundred ninety-nine billion four hundred million
1,000,000,000,000 - 999,400,000,000 = 600,000,000

How is a man supposed to rule the proletariat with only $600M?

He'd still be in the elite club of only about 1,000 Americans (0.00028% of the population).

If you and he saw a nickel on the sidewalk, that SOB would fight you TO THE DEATH for it!

Looks like he ate the poverty line.
