      If we would assume that musk’s wealth is $400,000 then spending $20m is just $20.

      To us this is massive amount for him it is $20.

      And he bought US president for just $300.

        Hopefully with Tesla stock crashing, this can be a reality

        Fine, he lost twenty bucks then, Im thrilled.

        I hope the anxiety causes him to smoke his entire ketamine stash in one sitting.

          I think people like him are so addicted to power and wealth, that I wouldn’t be surprised he would off himself if net worth would drop to millions.

          Though with that much of wealth, I think no matter what he will do he will be a billionaire.

          If we ever restore democracy, we need to concentrate on destroying oligarchies, apparently this already happened twice.

        Technically his total wealth has declined to about $342 Bn, and technically that is only if he sold off all of his assets namely his Tesla stocks, at which point it would instantly become less than $342 Bn due to the market’s fast acting supply/demand price setting.

        At any given time you should assume Musk has less than $30 Bn liquidity, which is still a fucking lot.

        Also, he bought Twitter so you can say he spent a lot more than $300 to elect Trump. $300 was just his campaign contributions.
