(12,801 posts)2. And that's what I will never understand about people with this level of extreme wealth....

He has so much money but it's all tied up in stock/ownership, etc., which seems to be why the twitter deal fell through as his Tesla stock value fell because of bid for twitter.
Too bad, so sad. I'm not disappointed. Wonder how much he can lay his hands on at anyone time? Looks like the number wasn't 44M.

How much does Israel get every year in "aid" (weapons)?
How much does "insert any country here" get in "aid" from the US every year?
