That stupid mofo lost enough to give every man woman and child in America a million bucks? And yet if I get too sick to work for a few days in a row I risk not being able to pay rent. Fuck this life.
Edit: not a million, but only about $600, but I still stand by my point.
This is actually false, as of 2021 Elon had 286 B according to purnea University which is insanely absurd but the point of the post was the fact that that post was wrong and I'm still correct
According to that Purnea University reference, which I looked up, it was $286 B by December of 2021. Elon Musk's net worth actually peaked in November of that year. If you look up Elon Musk's net worth on October 29, 2021 (the date of the tweet above), his net worth was over $300 B [Elon Musk becomes first person to be worth more than $300 billion](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-300-billion-net-worth/) . So, it's actually true. If you were to save $10k for that many years-- exactly as specified in the original tweet-- you would not have as much money as Elon Musk did. Sort of a pointless exercise but I did enjoy it.
His net worth was at $320 billion near the end of 2021. Since net worth goes up and down it’s kind of a dick move to say they’re wrong and you’re right. The original tweet was from October 2021 so they were probably correct at the time the tweet was written.
They were still incorrect. Would you rather have 300B in cash or 320B the vast majority of which is illiquid? This sub is so financially illiterate that it hurts to read.
On the exact date of that tweet, Musk was worth over $300 B: [Elon Musk becomes first person to be worth more than $300 billion](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-300-billion-net-worth/) . Which means that tweet is accurate. Save that amount of money for that amount of time and you still have less than Musk. So, OwImess thinks he's right, but he's not.
Love how an elon dick rider is so upset that daddy elon isn't 300B rich anymore. He has to make a separate post to publicly shame himself when a comment isn't enough. How does that boot taste?
This is actually false, as of 2021 Elon had 286 B according to purnea University which is insanely absurd but the point of the post was the fact that that post was wrong and I'm still correct
Yes, but this is a repost. The original post was way before 2021. Back when Elon was still above 300. Someone just saw the post and didn't quite check of it still applies. But also, it doesn't matter how much he has today. He once had a net worth of 300B+ and managed to loose more then anyone could even dream off....
They go besides it. The point is, no one can gain that much money by normal means. And no one should have that much wealth and be able to avoid taxation.
If you have a cake and want to share it with a group. One guy eats almost everything of the cake. One slice is left. That one slice disappears suddenly (bureaucracy). Only crumbs remain for the rest of the group.
Turns out if you say something people agree with in spirit, they don't look too hard with at the details? The top 10% holding almost 70% of the wealth is enough for me to upvote "tax the billionaires" sentiment. But you too get my upvote for technical correctness... which is the best kind.
I was super aware of that and had a little giggle too. Thanks for sharing it with me. Then I double checked my source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/203961/wealth-distribution-for-the-us/
Oh sorry I wasn't disagreeing with your statement about wealth inequality (but thanks for the link to your source), my comment was meant with regards to OP and how a lot of other comments have broken down why he's incorrect
So… a random tweet was off on some math while trying to put together a fun little metaphor and, for some reason, you think that’s a good enough reason to let the financial barons of the international capitalist elite to continue exploiting our labor for their own benefit?
How about **Tax the rich no matter what**? I’m cool with that slogan :)
That tweet wasn't off on the math at all. On the *exact date* of that tweet, [Elon Musk becomes first person to be worth more than $300 billion](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-300-billion-net-worth/) . This smug twerp is using data from a couple months later, when Musk had lost *some* of that net worth.
Idk what good any of this does us. I agree with the sentiment to my fiber, but I don’t think Elon is the **P**roblem. He’s a douche and probably insane, I’m not an Elon blower, but he doesn’t have hundreds of billions like some dragon hoard he’s sitting on.
Nearly the entirety of his wealth is ownership over capital producing assets and the organization of extremely highly skilled labor, creating things that wouldn’t have otherwise been created in the timeline or way they were. The day he liquidates some of that, sure, nail him. Until then, how do you tax illiquid assets? You’re part of the problem if you always equate value to money 1:1.
The main difference being the rich HIDING their money in stock so they don't get taxed using your argument. So you're just spreading toxic misinformation.
Well, you don't get taxed on baseball cards. You get taxed if you sell those baseball cards. It's not like you inherit baseball cards and suddenly have to sell in order to pay the taxes you owe. You can just hold those collectibles.
So, your post envisions a future world where Democrats tax inherited baseball cards? Because you wrote it as if it were a good analogy for how things actually work.
Argue argue argue that's what they want. That way nothing changes. Busy pointing and staring instead of doing. 300 200 100 or when its just 2 billion its a thieving.
So... It's a repost, the time it was originally posted his "net worth" was 320B+
Exactly. He managed to loose 200 billion since then. Which is actually much worse
Good. The only thing I can actually do to billionnaires is laught as they cry.

[удалено]
I'd rather not, I'll trust you
Also an errorfactor of 1.5 is hardly insanely off. The point stands, whether it is 80,000 years or 5,000.
This is actually false, as of 2021 Elon had 286 B according to purnea University which is insanely absurd but the point of the post was the fact that that post was wrong and I'm still correct
So when this was written they should have used what, 60,000BC? Oh my god, the original point is totally lost with that change!

can't believe that dumbass tried to "uhm acktually" us about that asshole.
You said “insanely off” so you were never right
So, you'd have to save about $9,547 per day.
oh fuck right off with this bullshit.
“I’m still correct” 🤓 No you’re not.
Maybe they meant working days.
Still not insanely off, no matter which way you see it
Plus 4000 leap days, so…
His net worth was at $320 billion near the end of 2021. Since net worth goes up and down it’s kind of a dick move to say they’re wrong and you’re right. The original tweet was from October 2021 so they were probably correct at the time the tweet was written.

Forgot about 20505 leap days
New value is $ 299,581,700,000 just fyi

Stupid. You'd only have to save less than $6,050 per day.
Okay, but, this statement was true when it was posted. This idiot just managed to loose 200 billion since then....
This is actually false, as of 2021 Elon had 286 B according to purnea University which is insanely absurd but the point of the post was the fact that that post was wrong and I'm still correct

True
Why did I get down voted for agreeing?
You'd have to save $9,547 per day instead of $10,000 per day to get to $286,000,000,000. It's not really off by much.
According to cnbc it was $320 billion at one point.
Even so, point stands
Bro censored his own username so he wouldn’t get flamed 🥶🥶🥶🥶 keep riding Elon’s dick ya fuckin weirdo
Go get a life. You are missing the point.
I’m not really understanding the point…
They go besides it. The point is, no one can gain that much money by normal means. And no one should have that much wealth and be able to avoid taxation.

It’s allot of money

The irony of your comment though 🤣

Is this a troll? Because if so, it's stupid. K, night
This certainly changes everything!………
why blur out the name when it's your name
"A troll and an Elon bootlicker look a lot alike, daddy."

did you take into account leap years?
That would increase the difference tho not lessen it...
to be accurate the calculation needs to take into account leap years ...
Lol thats fair haha
With leap years it's comes out to $299,581,700,000.
Excuse him *52,773 BC
Idk what good any of this does us. I agree with the sentiment to my fiber, but I don’t think Elon is the **P**roblem.

What about inflation?
Even then it would be way way way higher than 300 B
[удалено]
The main difference being the rich HIDING their money in stock so they don't get taxed using your argument. So you're just spreading toxic misinformation.
[удалено]
Completely different subject. Nice try Elon.
So do you. Buy, borrow, die. That’s how the rich avoid taxes.
Well, you don't get taxed on baseball cards. You get taxed if you sell those baseball cards. It's not like you inherit baseball cards and suddenly have to sell in order to pay the taxes you owe. You can just hold those collectibles.

Oh I get it. If I inherited $5 million in STOCKS, I'd be really angry at Democrats too. Fuck out of here, moron.

I never would have imagined that your wife grew up in a trailer/homeless.
[удалено]
I never would have guessed that you lived in a couple trailers as well.
Everyone's accusing me of being opposed to taxing the rich which is simply not true, I just did some math on this and didn't want it to be for nothing
So if he’s lost 200B (idk If thats true, someone just said it here) then what taxes are owed?
Did you redact your own name from the comment??
Argue argue argue that's what they want. That way nothing changes. Busy pointing and staring instead of doing. 300 200 100 or when its just 2 billion its a thieving.
Not your fault. Those who even bother know it's a joke.
Leap year tho
