So it’s more of symbolic number, not really meaningful.

I wonder what Musk’s 2024 vs 2025 net worth is measured in Euros?

If one could go back to the end of the last Ice Age, and save $10,000 every day, eighty-two thousand years later one would STILL only have 60% as much money as Musk.

And some people still don't think he should pay taxes.

used to help people. Makes me sad and angry at the same time.

it would be 46 feet high.


If you stacked Elon Musk's wealth in one dollar bills into a pile that was 48 X 40 feet, it would be 23,100 high...or about the height of Aconcagua, the highest mountain in the Americas.

but I think we should mandate a livable minimum wage and a liveable maximum wage. We used to do this through the progressive tax rates. It's a concept whose time has come back around again, exponentially. I don't want to thwart creativity, but really intelligent and/or creative people don't need to make such enormous sums of money (when stacked against their employees), like the people on the level of Musk, Theil, and others do today. The accomplishment and betterment of humanity should be the ultimate goal, not trillions of dollars, while everyone around them starves. I guess that's why I always wanted to live in a Star Trek world. (sigh)

white collar workers and mid-level management.

So, we've got that going for us...right up to the point when a superintelligent AI decides we're not needed at all.
