Toyota sells 10 million cars a year-
Tesla 330,000.

Toyota 2019 revenue-$272.3 billion
Tesla: $25 billion



But if he's going to give a lot of his fortune away, I'm all for that.

The billionaires could import literal slave labor and claim they’re doing it for the good of the human species.

Yeah, I'm sure we'd bring some whales up there, and they'll get along in the great Musk City on Mars. Eagles will be flying around in the Dome, elephants lumbering around, gorillas in the trees.

Oh, and every single plant and insect species from Earth, he'll haul up there like fucking Noah, and they will all thrive on Mars.

How does this much of a dipshit get to be the richest person in the world?
