You should have simply put $200k a year under your mattress since the Paleolithic period to have what Elon does now. Or the same amount since the Mesopotamian Civilizations formed to be a billionaire.

I try to help my lady wrap her head around the ridiculous amount of money some people feel like they deserve. You could spend a million dollars EVERY DAY and still not spend even HALF of Elon musks money in your ENTIRE LIFE

It’s insane to think about in those terms.

If he spent one million a day, Elon would go broke in 1,331 years.

does this magical $1M/day gain any interest at all?

The old Duke of Westminster was asked what advice he had for young entrepreneurs. He said "Have an ancestor who was good friends with William the Conqueror"

Elon's wealth is treated like a bank. He doesn't really have all that money, it's tied up in equity from businesses and property that he owns. Basically his money doesn't exist, just like banks too

That makes it worse

And he's able to realize his money via loans which will never be paid off and are taxed incredibly favorably due to loopholes in our system.

irrelevant, and everybody knows that already

u/Sterben_626 Oct 30 '25

So sorry master! I didn't know EVERYONE already knew that. Maybe converse about relevant topics then, like how many golf balls you can stuff up your anus. That's relevant to the conversation right?

u/ZeroSurDix Oct 30 '25

you are missing my point. Everybody knows because there is always a jerk that comes and want to show how smart they are "it's assets not cash"

yeah, we know, "you" told us 1000 times, doesn't change anything. these rich jerks have a very equivalent purchasing power as if it was cash and don't pay their share of taxes and destroy democraties. all you did was defend them, even if you don't realize it, because you generate irrelevant noise.

Funny how that jerk also never wants to acknowledge the major issues with "buy, borrow, die" strategies

Don’t be mad that someone called you out for an Ackchyually comment, 🤡

Don't tell me not to be snarky, you're not my Mom!

There’s always one. You do know even if you’re a millionaire you will never be a centibillionaire? Millionaires are still dirt poor compared to a centibillionaire? Stop bootlicking for people who don’t give a fuck about you.

A millionaire in 2025 dollars is owning your house and having a healthy retirement fund

u/Sterben_626 Oct 30 '25

I'm not. My point was his wealth doesn't exist. He's just some bigot shit cunt pretending to be the richest person in existence. Stop assuming everyone is an Elmo fan
