the stock market is the only game in town as long as banks get free money from the feds who keep interest rates so low to finance their deficits & debt and pay nothing to saving accounts. its a rigged game in favor of wall street & politicians who cannot balance a budget.

👍

May they learn they can’t pay a personal fitness instructor enough to get through the eye of a needle!

🖕

Because the market went up d’uh. I added to my wealth as well. You did too I’d imagine.

And they also got older and closer to prostrate cancer and erectile dysfunction so who cares, vitality is all that matters. Fuck money. All you need is THIS = lifeforce

Why stoke class envy. “As of March 31, 2020, 401(k) plans held an estimated $5.6 trillion in assets “ I wonder how much our collective wealth went up? Give the constant envy a rest. Please.

That’s what bitcoin is for! So we don’t have to devalue paper currency every week to pay these guys

Well done 👏🏼🥳😉

Elon Musk...the ku klux clan simpatyser ?

elonmusk You or me are going to be the first Trillionaire. Now it just a matter of time

How are they doing this i need to knoe

May 1st 'Tesla stock price is too high imo' (it's at 701.32) Media cries 'Elon Meltdown' Aug 20 the stock hits 2,049

tweetzydeetzy Tesla will be the first company with publicly sold NanoRobots. Mark this tweet for the further generations. Tesla will produce l and sell the first public NanoRobots ever. They will lead the future in medical technology as well as space exploration.

Please share the wealth

I always wonder if someone with so much money has problems managing these huge amounts of money. How can one keep track of such sums?

I couldn’t give two fucks for the rich. The money they have it’s never enough, they don’t want to pay taxes and they still want things for free. So much problems in the world today and what do these people do to help the less fortunate. It’s a sin not to help other when you can

And there I am deciding if I should buy lunch or put gas in my car.

Sick

Stop hating. Their companies ALONE created more than 700,000 jobs. What have YOU done to create work for a civilized nation?

That's nice when I finish my 12 hours today I'll drink my beer thinking of them

So do they just keep it in a big pot or something?

Come on, !! Their value goes up and down with the market. Terrible headline. And who cares! The value of my stuff went up a little, too. Big deal

The FED adds Trillions to the money supply and Billionaires get the bulk of it. While Citizens get nothing from a corrupt Government. Anyone cheering this shit needs help.

How many of them are leaving that money in their company (without salary) to help get the world off fossil fuels and make the world better place. I'll give you a hint, he is on your cover photo.

Y yo sin un centavo

They deserve it. Hardworking men!

If the wealth is real then fix a real world problems or what is it good for? The billionaire title lack substance & depth The top 25 billionaire should fix homelessness in world my point is make a real impact or start programs to due so! That’s how you write a life long legacy!

At least in the case of Musk, we'll earned. Kudos.

Eat em

There’s no honor in being hyper- Wealthy, when many others don’t have enough.

No they didn’t, they’re unrealized gains and if market crashes next week it’s gone

BILLONARIOSLOVERS

In musk’s case, fraud pays very well

It is moronic headlines like this that make people on the left actually think these rich folks are sitting on this much cash because they do not understand the concept of unrealized gains. Now we get to hear about what other ways that money could be used. 🤦‍♂️ Do better.

Elon is a rare quality person.

Great. Don’t forget to point out that all that money comes from happy customers, who see some needs satisfied by the products and services these companies provide.

Elon Musk will be the richest man. Because their wealth is no accident. He has the strength of a ram and the heart of a child. A visionary.

The South African Elon Musk is killing it only in billions of dollars

In a week... Let that sink in.

Meanwhile more food banks were opened for struggling families

All because of who? The public or trump tax cuts for the richest

we need communism now!

Huyu mwamba ni genius lakini ana kula mmea kinoma

Well done to them! 🙂

Awesome! Capitalism at its best. Well deserved.

Money, wahala dey

Elon deserves every single penny of his wealth, I'm not sure about the other two!

time to start building the guillotines

This is serious🙄

meanwhile 40 million Americans are at risk of eviction
