    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.

    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.

        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

          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.

    He’s a parasite, he will continue to feed on us until nothing is left. Maybe kill some more kids for fun because it’s the only way he feels anything.

      No money for social programs though, of course infrastructure, medical care and education has no role in helping him accumulate wealth, no sir.

    He’s going to spend it paying top esports players to play games pretending to be him.

    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.

    It’s like asking a hoarder what they plan to do with all of those <insert item here>.

    It’s a mental illness but instead of recognizing it as such, calling it out and getting them treatment, society celebrates them and says they are doing everything that everybody else should strive for.
