If I remember right, Musk made a comment on this that was around “Once you get enough money, you stop seeing it as money and more like a high score.”
Yeah, a lot of rich folks said it’s been about one-upping each other.
Mark Cuban was asked if he wants to increase his net worth. He responded that he’s busy managing the Dallas Maverick’s. But that interview seems to insinuate that there is an expectation amongst the wealthy to just keep accumulating wealth. Literally like a cancer that keeps growing.
he was briefly worth $1T on paper. Then SpaceX go poof.
nothing.
you don’t do anything with that kind of money. you just have it.
Don’t you see? if he has enough money then Grimes will love him again! It’s not pathetic, you’re pathetic!
He’ll probably ask to toucuh kids on epstein island again after becoming a trillionare, and he’ll probably be rejected again
Prison
Make everyone else as misrable as him it appears.
Nothing. If you were born in 1AD and earned 1,000,000 every single day without spending a single penny you still would not be a trillionaire today. He will never spend that wealth , he will use that money to get loans that he does not owe taxes on, using that money to acquire even more capital. He has stated his goal is 10 trillion. At no point along the way will he use his wealth or influence to directly improve any common person’s life. He is a cancer on our planet, on our economy, and on our civilization.
I hate that we’ve had to change this calculation from a billionaire to a trillionaire. Both are fucking disgusting numbers.
Also, I swear to God if anyone mentions compound interest I’m gonna strap you to one of Elon’s exploding rockets.
Its only been 738,715 days since 1/1/0001 so this checks
My calculations make it 739,802
Baseline: 2025 * 365 = 739,125
Leap years: Floor(2025 / 4) = 506 - floor(2025 / 100) = 486 + floor(2025 / 400) = 491 (every 4th year except every 100th year with the exception of every 400th year)
1st of Jan 2026 to 5th of July 2026: 186
Total: 739,125 + 491 + 186 = 739,802
Did you account for the switch from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar?
Don’t worry if you didn’t, this has tripped up a number of apocalyptic religious cults as well, they had to rewrite their time tables to Doomsday when somebody pointed it out to them.
But yeah, basically, 10 days got wiped out of conceptual existence in the uh, great time refactor of 1582. … and more confusingly, it wasn’t like, globally adopted at the same time, so, sometimes, in some places, adoption resulted in the nullification of 11, 12, or 13 days.
No, I used the proleptic Gregorian calendar, so if you want to count sunrises you can just add 10 days. Historians use it for simplicity and accept the drift.
Excellent!
If Dr Who ever randomly abducts you, you’ll be slightly better suited for the experiencd than most!
Why not just do 2025×365.2425 + 186?
Also note: the Gregorian calendar was not in use yet at the start of this, so that might throw off all your calculations
I wanted to show the full calculation, but that one works too.
And yes, you could do some more math to account for the 10 day drift the Julian calendar introduced but historians mostly use the proleptic Gregorian calendar which removes this for ease of use to better count orbits. If you want the actual sunrises since 1/1/0001 it should be enough to just add back 10 days.
Wait so you’re telling me 2000 was not a leap year? But 2200 will be?
I was too young to really pay attention that year.
That’s interesting about the proleptic calendar and stuff.
2000 is divisible by 400 so it is a leap year. It goes “divisible by 4” is a leap year, “divisible by 100” not a leap year, “divisible by 400” the exception to the exception so this is a leap year too.
Oh fuck, I’m clearly too tired to do math in my head right now…
Why June?
Typo. That’s probably July.
Fixed, it was a typo
Elon: “More.”
“Now what?” Is apparently helping to turn the United States in to Nazi Germany for “teh lolz”
He’s just that quirky. Haha.
He should explore the afterlife.
He’s going to spend it paying top esports players to play games pretending to be him.
Elon is finally going to be the champion in all videogames.No, I am the video game boy! I’m the one who wins!
Mare, just let Elon pay for you - you have the game, you have the money and you have the fun. Elon gets the “honour”, but nobody will ever believe him anyway.
Okay Arin
Money isn’t the endgame. It’s power. He wants to own the world and have all the people inside of it report to him.
I mean if he wants to buy my sheep I’ll sell them. I fucking hate these sheep.
Umm actually, people keep saying he’s a trillionaire, that’s not technically true.
He wasn’t even if SpaceX was at its peak valuation. It was unrealized, floating on an actual liquidity of like 100 billion.
Paper wealth yes, but he can still spend $250m on an election like its couch shrapnel.
Yeah. IIRC he even needed external investors to buy the bloody Twitter.
No amount of money in the world will make him a better PoE2 player
Kids these days and their Power over Ethernet.
It’s PoE2 so it’s gooder
Worlds richest loser
Hey, Elon Musk could be in this thread, reading your comments, sobbing like a thing that sobs a lot. Why isn’t this bolded.
He’s waiting for the wildest comment on this thread and an invite.
