🤔🤔🤔 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?
4meAndyou · F
@Nimbus I don't know enough about WHO actually manages all his money. If he does everything himself without assistance, then I would say YES, also a financial genius.

His CREATIVE genius, and his willingness to fail in order to try new and amazing things, however, is the DRIVER behind the explosion of Spacex to a publicly traded company. And the success of Spacex is behind his current financial blessings.

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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
Success is not always measured in dollars.
Nimbus · M
@MrBrownstone True dat!
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 :)
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!
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!
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.
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. ☹
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 ;)
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Not all of us want to make a pack with the devil?

@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 :)
Jenny1234 · 56-60, M
Because most of us don’t push aside or exploit others to get ahead
Because we aren't willing to steal ideas, claim them as our own and screw people over...

That or we just don't get into the right position to do so.
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
