The left will lawfare his wealth out of his hands. Count on it.
They’ll find some obscure federal regulation he supposedly violated by owning Twitter and running it as a free speech platform rather than a state dogma pulpit.

I thought Bezos hit a trillion a few years ago.
Nope.
Putin might be a trillionaire?
The left is demanding they take space x from for national security reasons.
They can’t stand he’s done well.

Amazon did but bezos only owns 13% or so
Zero way of verifying that, but good point.
I just realized the trillionaire thing is largely due to inflation.
In the 1800s, a millionaire was a truly filthy rich person. Unimaginably so.
As we keep debasing the currency — “for the good of the economy” — we’ll eventually see a quadrillionaire, quintillionaire, etc. Won’t mean a hell of a lot when a loaf of bread costs $100.
In Musk’s case it’s also owning many successful companies.
There’s no doubt he’s been extremely successful. But the same success 20 years ago would be $500 billion.
My point is the value of money changes. It’s not like he’s a trillionaire in 1960s money.
He’s still at under $300B. The article is speculative, at best.
The irony the left always seems ot miss is that it’s paper money. He could be broke tomorrow. All it takes is for Tesla or another company to collapse.
Lol it is hilarious how much you hate him

Yep, being a millionaire isn’t what it used to be, today it’s basically upper middle class.
Stating reality means I hate him?
No it’s all the other context.
I didn’t read hatred out of your specific comment there, but I do think you hate him in general.
Even if you’d quibble with the word hate, I suspect you generally perceive all his actions in a negative light unless or until proven otherwise.
I think mc is more fair about Elon. He does own a Tesla. Something more liberals would never do.
You think Mac hates Elon because he’s a liberal, nothing I saw in his post would demonstrate that. Remember, it’s KC that doesn’t like Elon Musk.
The article is silly, reads like click bait. Here in America we worship the rich like Brits follow the Royalty, I don’t get it myself.
It is, that’s why I posted it. I know lefties get butt hurt about anything Elon.
