    Society should not allow a single individual to accumulate so much money and, consequently, power.

    One million seconds is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

    A million dollars would change anyone’s life.

    Nobody needs a billion dollars, and a trillion dollars is so obscene that humanity deserves to become extinct because we’ve allowed this to happen.

    Elon could singlehandedly save the planet, but he’ll take it all to his grave (on Mars), and then lawyers will fight over his mountains of money.

    When it’s all over, his money will help nobody…and he’ll likely break a trillion by fleecing retirement funds out of all their money when SpaceX forces funds to buy into the pump & dump.

      Absolutely not.

      Stop playing into his “genius” myth.

        I don’t think they meant “genius”, I think they meant “with that amount of money”

          That is also wrong, a trillion USD isn’t enough by far to do that either.

        I think the OP meant via Elon’s fortune rather than his pea brain

    *Known trillionaire.

    I bet the Rothschilds got there decades ago, but they keep their finances close to their chest. Elon is a braggart.
