Musk is worth over $350 billion. He could give every American $1 million and still be a billionaire

[Travel Hat]

That is every single American, from the youngest to the oldest.

1. To

To me he is worthless.

[Blues Heron]

2. he could give a million people 350,000 dollars is more like it, its still a boatload of cash though

[Travel Hat]

3. I stand corrected

19. Suggest you edit your post

or delete it, if it doesn't make the point you're trying to make.

4. Billion

He’d only be able to go be each American $1000. Here in America, one billion is a thousand million.

5. Everyone gets a Grand.

350,000,000,000 is 1,000 times 350,000,000.

He won't.

6. The US population is about 333 million

333,000,000*1,000,000= $3.33x10^14

That is $333 quadrillion dollars or over 4000 times the estimated amount of money in the world.

7. Math not your strong suit?

He could give every person in the US $1,000....assuming he was 100% liquid which is not, he would tank his stocks if he tried to sell them all

10. Truth won't trend well on this.

8. US GDP per capita is about $81,000

And total GDP is about $30 trillion, which is itself about 85 times more than Musk’s net worth. That is absolutely crazy if you think about it that one person of a country of 350 million owns more than 1% of our annual economic output.

I’m fully in favour of confiscatory tax policies when it comes to the Über wealthy … see what I did there.

9. On paper. If he liquidated everything, we'd get very little.

11. It is amazing. At some point, it becomes almost like

play money. And I suspect for most people a few million is enough because at that point you are comfortable for the rest of your life--then what to do with all this money? Philanthropy is the highest thing a person can do, but if you only spend it on yourself It's almost impossible to spend all that money unless you are just buying things to an obnoxious level--almost a level of pointlessness. How many airplanes does a person need? How many homes? Maybe it even becomes depressing, because there are too many choices and not all that much time.

He is buying influence. But for what? At his level, do you really need a tax cut? Or maybe he is trying to fill the hole left inside him from his childhood, or his horrible family dynamics, his alienation from his daughter, etc... Money can't fill those holes.

12. And it's never enough for someone like Musk. His DOGE department has one thing and one thing only in mind:

make the peons pay for billionaire tax cuts.

13. Try $1000. nt

[PeaceWave]

14. Sorry, but this post raises concerns whether math is still being taught in school.

[WarGamer]

17. apparently some think a billion... is a million million.

[WarGamer]

15. hahahaha...

[Meowmee]

16. He won't 😹😹😹

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Oops!

Off by a factor of a thousand.

20. It's not

liquid cash, so he could do nothing of the sort. SpaceX is $255 billion of that $350 billion.
