Why tf is his personal fortune still 200b??? Deam what if he's sabotaging his fortune so that he can keep making way to much money in different projects. Without people freaking out cuz he has 500b, the only what to do that would be in fact to tank a couple of companies in a way that seems not accidental.
Is this really a thing you think people do?
Why would he care?
Well I've seen a pretty big, eat the rich support base. And as the wealth gap between classes is increasing to early industrial levels. I'm pretty sure it would be a safe bet it will be bigger ?(not 100%sure tho more like 60%)
Also yes ofc, there all types of illegal moves you can make to manipulate the stock market. He did it before with tweets, until the SEC's warnings.
If he's trying to get a gov contract with space X that suddenly increases his wealth to astronomical levels there would be a blowback. Especially if we get poorer.
Soo yhe, tank one of the companies would be a way to solve it.
Not big enough to do anything or to be taken seriously. Bud Light was hurt more by white trash than the CEO of fucking Zoom will ever be hurt by "eat the rich"
Also this is not about Elon Musk, at all. Did you post on the wrong article? That would make your above post make more sense.
I'm pretty sure I didn't or that I'm strabic. My bad XD, sorry, it was a valid point just missused
Not sure where you're getting your numbers. He's worth 3.4 billion dollars. Unless you're talking in yen, which would make him worth about 500b yen.
Yo wtf Google him.... I'm not even answering this shitty comment. Or at least elaborate cuz what you said may not be what you think you meant
CEO of Zoom is called Eric S Yuan. He's 53 years old, has 3 kids and net worth of 3.4 billion US dollars in 2023.
Maybe I'm not the guy who needs to try Google lol
Yep yep, my bad, I'm talking about Musk. Well that was dumb
