“I have a bunch of houses, but I don’t spend a lot of time in most of them," Musk told Rogan."That doesn’t seem like a good use of assets. Somebody could probably be enjoying those houses and get better use of them than me.”
Although $54 billion still separates Musk from the No. 1 spot — held by Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, whose fortune is listed at $182 billion — Tesla’s debut on the S&P 500 index next month could narrow that margin. Tesla hit a $500 billion market capitalization for the first time on Tuesday, and Musk's net worth has jumped nearly $20 billion in just the last week.
As part of her divorce, MacKenzie Scott, a novelist and philanthropist, received a 4 percent stake in Amazon. From 1989 until 2016, the wealth gap between the richest and poorest families in the U.S. more than doubled,, a trend now exacerbated by the pandemic. As CEOs such as Musk and Bezos continue to see their fortune increase, small-business owners and millions of unemployed Americans are struggling to survive the economic crisis wrought by the pandemic.

So Bezos could give every person in this country about $164 and be tied for the richest person on earth. Where's my guillotine?
Let’s start putting 0’s out there shall we? Tough to grasp without seeing “Musk is a mere $54,000,000,000 away from the No. 1 spot”
Bill is the only one mentioned who is not a complete asshole.
Gates is giving his billions away. Huge difference.
A guy who runs a company that is constantly having problems and loses money every year. And the regular people are standing in food lines in the richest country in the world. Pathetic!
Eat. The. Rich
Hey Elon, the 2 wealthiest people in the world will be dragged to the Central Park guillotines. BREAKING: Elon Musk has given away half his wealth
Boooooo
The tone of this is sociopathic.
Who cares
This is disgusting
If he is personally this wealthy, then why is the Government subsidizing so much of his business? These billionaires are rich off the backs of taxpayers.
America deserves half every decade after $5 billion net worth.
Tax has decreased for the rich for decades, while everyone else’s increased and minimum wage stayed stagnant. Time for tax reform to make the rich pay their fair share. Let’s elect ossoff and ReverendWarnock to begin this process.
Hippity hoppity
Yeah, lets idolize another sociopath while people sleep on the streets. I fucking hate amerikka.
Ew. The only way this shlt happens if low level people are getting exploited. Fvck elon.
Billionaires are the biggest welfare queens on the planet.
Oh goody. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Too bad he doesn’t know how to name children.
Disgraceful , feeding out of the taxpayers trough for years. This shouldn’t happen. A man who doesn’t respect his workers and made all his money off the taxpayers’ $ and workers’ backs. This isn’t free market this is Corp socialism with a side of merciless capitalism.
Isn't it strange that some people think becoming one of the richest people within a capitalist society is an 'accomplishment'?
No wonder he's so insufferable
Welfare King elonmusk
One or both could do something about this. They choose every day not to. Fuck 'em both
Gross
Must be white... no one is buying Tesla’s car but stock is up the roof
GET THE F'IN PITCHFORK'S!!!
And we should eat them all
They ought to try some humble pie
And here I am deciding what flavor of ramen would be great for dinner tonight.
fucking seize them and let them try to explain why they should ONLY have their money taken away
No one person should hold this much wealth. We need to change our laws and tax policies.
Image is everything, in this case.
Xin chúc mưng!
Nice scumbags
We know what the 1% has been doing while we've been quarantined. Counting money.
Now how did that happen when he doesn't have the most popular, highest selling product to each home? 🤔
