    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

      Fine, he lost twenty bucks then, Im thrilled.

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

        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.

      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.
