Not shocking, AI helped

The TSLA bubble will pop before he can sell his shares

Gross. This is what is wrong with out of control Capitalism.

Bu kadar parayı ne yapacaksın elonmusk daha kaç sene yaşıyacaksin, çoğunu fakir insanlarla paylaş, paylaş ki diğer dünyada yerin de güzel olsun ...

Then maybe he can develop a model and lower the price so environment conscious middle class folks can afford to buy one.

Inequality of income. Nothing to celebrate here. Tax Musk and Bezo heavily.

I'm pleased not to be either of them

How can a man so rich not take dancing lessons?

So you can be the richest man in the world but you also have to be the biggest dork. 'Hello children trapped in a cave. Do you like this drawing of a submarine I made. Its really neat.'

dgburgher leaves behind? oopsies, did he die ?

Just wait for it, Bezos is gonna be No 1 soon again.

even the richest person on earth ends in death. Do something in your lifetime for the poor of this world, from whom you stole their money.

I don't say it's wrong, I just want to say how bizzar it's when you think about it, that one man can owns more wealth than millions of people of many countries combined. 🤯

Bezos makes his money from ecommerce, a little bit of every amazon sale goes in his pocket. Musk on the other hand is selling teslas, but that's not where his wealth suddenly came from. People literally threw $100B at him for his IPO, because they believe in him.

Put some of your money here..

Not sure why this is news and why these people matter for the rest of us. How do they make life better for the billions of ordinary people much less poor people. It's time to stop giving the stage to the less than 1% who's wealth have nothing positive to add to the world!

'You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.' — L. Ron Hubbard

I don't think he cares about being the richest man in the world, but I think he's a bit happy about passing Bezos.

elonmusk is a genius! He deserves it!

Are we talking about the 'I want to smell you ALIVE!' creepo again?
