Musicman · 61-69, M
Good for him. He is a very smart person and he definitely deserves it. I was there on Friday buying SpaceX stock. 🙂
Nimbus · M
@Musicman Not many smarter!

Platinum · M
Ive got a beautiful wife four great kids and grandchildren and great grandchildren and i can pay my bills and im happier than him....
Nimbus · M
@Platinum Yay! :)
TexChik · F
He's extremely brilliant and makes good decisions. A rare combination
TexChik · F
@Steph34 really ? By whom? NASA never did it
Steph34 · 36-40, F
@TexChik they went one better and landed on the Moon.
TexChik · F
@Steph34 that was the lunar lander module not a booster rocket . I’m talking about the unmanned booster rockets that NASA leaves in space. Musk flies them back, lands them perfectly, and reuses them. Amazing stuff
Patriot96 · 56-60, C
Hes just a very smart person
@Patriot96 Hmm.. no, he just got lucky. It takes money to make money, that's a fact.
Nimbus · M
@Patriot96 Yea a number of qualities that add up to success.
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
Wasn't there 3 Arab guys that had Trillions between them?
Nimbus · M
@Thevy29 I can't say I have heard of them.
DragonFruit · 70-79, M
I wouldn't trade my life for his....I'm successful and don't need the kind of "success" he has
Nimbus · M
@DragonFruit Me neither, too much pressure.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
When he is also confirmed as the highest taxpayer in the world, then I will be happy to recognise his success 🙂
Picklebobble2 · 61-69, M
@SunshineGirl I was going to say 'when he becomes the world's most honest tax payer, I'll offer my congratulations
Nimbus · M
@SunshineGirl Keep a look out ;)
4meAndyou · F
🤔🤔🤔 Well, the world would run out of money if that were to be the case. Definitely NOT enough money available for ALL of us to be trillionaires...🤭🤭🤭

Seriously, though...a genius like Musk is very rare. His creativity, and drive, and vision are not to be found elsewhere.
Nimbus · M
@4meAndyou Would you say a financial genius?
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
Success is not always measured in dollars.
Nimbus · M
@MrBrownstone True dat!
empanadas · 31-35, M
Because we have souls and morals.
Wildstrawberries · 41-45, F
@empanadas this.
Nimbus · M
@empanadas Mostly ;)
I'd rather have my life than his.
Nimbus · M
@jackieash 👍
Quite right.
Because we're not all wankers.
Nimbus · M
@Mindfulness I take it you don't like him 😝
@Nimbus I don't know what could have given you that idea. 🤷‍♂
StygianKohlrabi · 46-50, M
if we were all the world's richest man? the banks would go bust. inflation would skyrocket and the dollar would be worth less than a grain of sand. the earth would explode.
Nimbus · M
@StygianKohlrabi Good point!
As with many things in life there has to be winners and losers!
Don’t know. Tried his perfume and I’m still poor.

Nimbus · M
@OlderSometimesWiser Doesn't sound too inviting :)
And still there are homeless people living on the streets.
Did you know Elon has 14 children? He is a rich rabbit.
Nimbus · M
@SoftIceCream Yep, that's sad :(
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@SoftIceCream so he should shut down his companies, fire all his employees, and give his money to a bunch of homeless people to buy drugs so they can be broke again in less than a month? 🤔
@wildbill83 Is that the best you can dream up? How about he invents something that helps them move forward in life instead of backwards? Think larger. Think progressive.
1490wayb · 56-60, M
he is NOT the founder of tesla, only a major investor
Nimbus · M
@1490wayb Thanks for the info!
AbbeyRhode · F
Very few have the ability, and even fewer are willing to work for it.
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode Exactly!
Munumbis · 46-50, M
Just the combination of hard work, skill, brains and luck. If it wasn't Musk it would be someone else.
Nimbus · M
@Munumbis Good point!
SleepingWithGhosts · 46-50, M
Fuck Elon Musk.
Wildstrawberries · 41-45, F
@SleepingWithGhosts not literally, but yes!...
Nimbus · M
@Wildstrawberries No thank you! ;)
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
Oh, heck, nothing to it... in Germany in 1923, there were lots of trillionaires.



Note: in Germany, our billion was a milliard (10^9), and their billion was our trillion (10^12).
Nimbus · M
@Thinkerbell Whatever the amount it was mega! :)
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@Nimbus

The trouble was, it cost 100 million marks for a cup of coffee. ☹
Firestarter · 31-35, F
I mean he’s brilliant but his face hurts. And even with all that money he doesn’t have personality and could never play James Bond.
Musicman · 61-69, M
@Firestarter He definitely doesn't have any problems paying his bills or taking care of anything around the house either.
FloorGenAdm · 51-55, M
Whenever I see something like this I think of that game King of the Mountain and when is somebody gonna throw em down the hill and take the mountain?
Nimbus · M
@FloorGenAdm An interesting observation ;)

@shuhak Good point!
daydeeo · 61-69, M
I know why I'm not. I don't have the vision that he does; I don’t have the leadership qualities that he does; I'm not willing to work 90 hours a week like he does.
Nimbus · M
@daydeeo Me neither!
30 is more than enough :)
FeetAreFantastic · 46-50, MVIP
I'm glad I'm not evil. Also, I greatly prefer to live in anonymity and my salary is more than enough to live an easy, comfortable life.
Nimbus · M
@FeetAreFantastic Good to hear 👍
Nimbus · M
