@kushika_twt Your company actually has to produce something people want to buy. Or people need.
And if you know anything about stocks, what goes up sometimes goes down, too.

How to become a trillionaire in 30 days:
1. Register a company.
2. Create 1 billion shares.
3. Set the price of each share to $1,000.
4. Buy 1 share yourself.
Boom, your company is now "worth" $1 trillion on paper.
Congratulations, you're a trillionaire.
This is basically how Elon Musk's wealth works.

@RememberPorkins @Azbroncfan71 @MajToure There are people in every state that should never have guns.

It was the private sector who got a man to the moon, coordinated and under government contracts similar to those SpaceX currently receives. The Apollo command module was made by North American Aviation, the rockets were built by Boeing, NAA again, Douglas Aircraft, and Rocketdyne
Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan
“Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built.” Hey Bill, who got man to the moon? Was it the government or the private sector?

@Sinbad51979702 @ZackPolanski Are you sure you should be saying anything, Mr. Communist Nan?
English
@ZackPolanski Is it legal to try a person for one crime yet sentence them for another? I think we should be told.
English
Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

@DarkstarTweets All I know is he’s trying to get people out of this asylum called earth and into the stars. I hope he succeeds. It’s the future humanity needs.
(We need off this rock.)
His politics and hypocrisy are just par for the course, and could be much worse (see Gates & Buffett.)
English
@Ronin72 It has nothing about the hate of the technology at all. It deals with the stances of "the sides". Cons hated him because of subsidies & now love him although his wealth foundation is subsidies. & now they praise his " free speech" when he denies "free speech" on his platform
English
And this is now why "the other side" loves him, after, correctly, saying the government was heavily subsidizing his business. Saying it's corp welfare. Now they're up his butt, cheering his "whites need to breed more" and are in danger from "them" ethos.
Jim Flood@Ronin72
@SonnieJohnson Only in spite of their best efforts. Not because of them. That’s one of the reasons they hat him so much. They thought he was going to end up on their team, giving his billions to them & their causes.

@ellis_benj @esweeti2 @ClimateWarrior7 The taxman just spends your money on war machines.
You really want to give him more money?
English
@esweeti2 @ClimateWarrior7 It’s not liquid wealth, but yet, he can use that supposed not liquid wealth to borrow against.. So not taxable when the taxman comes, it’s all in stocks - but can be used to borrow more money…

Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire.
Median wealth per adult globally is about $8,000.
That means Elon has 125 million times as much stuff as the median person.
Let that sink in.
He is consuming 125 million times as much food as the median person.
He owns 125 million times the amount of housing.
He has 125 miilion times the amount of clothes.
Meanwhile children even in the UK are starving, and yet he refuses to hand over food and clothes to them.
English
@ClimateWarrior7 No. It doesn’t. It’s just not so.
The earth has infinite resources.
You’re complaining about the size of his pizza slice while running a pizza shop.
Make more pie.
English
I'm tired.
Tired of trying to educate people about economics.
Tired of unfairness and injustice.
$1 trillion is 125 time the global median wealth.
That means Elon is hogging 125 times the median resources.
This is not rocket science, people!
Ed S@esweeti2
@ClimateWarrior7 He's not consuming 125 million times anything. So many ignorant embarrassing posts demonstrating profound economic illiteracy. He just happens to own a big slice of 2 very valuable companies. This is not liquid wealth, and he doesn't own lots of physical stuff.
English
@GavinNewsom How much was that high speed rail?
What else could you have spent those billions on?
English
Americans are struggling to pay for groceries and gas while Elon Musk becomes a TRILLIONAIRE.
When the federal government is for sale, the rich get richer and everyone else gets shafted.
The system is rigged.
English
@DarkstarTweets You think because I don’t hate the technology he’s creating, I support anything he does in politics?
That’s a leap Evel Knievel wouldn’t have tried to attempt.
English
@Ronin72 I responded with a related simple statement of fact.
English
@DissentFu Yes, and?
Focus on you, not him. His bank account or stock holdings have nothing to do with you.
Unless you’re looking for somewhere to invest your money…
English
@wharton_john @JohnCleese They did this to the kid the Sikh murdered and his father. The Scottish police did it to that 12 year old girl. That was literally in the news, yesterday. And they religiously went after the girls that the grooming gangs abused & r*ped.
Have you not been paying attention?
English
@Ronin72 @JohnCleese Where have they done this here? I know you’re American but Jesus…

May I ask...is stabbing people racist ?
Or only talking about it...

@bourscheid He literally is working on solving the world’s problems.
Green energy.
Traffic deaths,
Moving humanity into the stars
Global access to the internet.
Sending money to anyone, anywhere.
English
I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.

@travisakers Where do you live? Coz the teachers around me are doing pretty well…and we don’t have drives like that, they force parents to purchase their supplies.

Elon Musk: Trillionaire
Jeff Bezos: Billionaire
Public School Teachers: Can anyone help me get some pencils for my students?

@CamRMacKenzie So you’re mad he has helped create some of the most successful companies in this planet?
That he’s trying to get humanity out into space, rather than locked together in this asylum where some nutcase like Kim Jong Un or whatever death cultist is in charge in Iran can end us all?
English
Average annual global income is ~$12,235. Elon Musk is now worth more than ~176 countries that have a nominal GDP under 1 trillion. It’s gross.
Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸@jimstewartson
For $135 per share of SpaceX, you get 1/13,000,000,000th (One 13-BILLIONTH) of a company that in 2025 received $18,000,000,000 and lost $5,000,000,000 It’s allegedly worth $1,770,000,000,000 Do people not understand arithmetic anymore? Can they not count zeroes? Mass delusion.

Dems want to convince you Elon has a Trillion dollars in a giant tower and he swims in it like Scrooge McDuck.
His economic evaluation isn't liquid cash. It's the combined value of his multiple companies. Most of that value was created through Gov't subsidy and contracts granted by DEMOCRATS for Green Energy.
Democrats create millionaires, billionaires and the first trillionaire... they don't hate the rich, they birth them...
English
@wharton_john @JohnCleese Strangely, I don’t remember the police trying to go after his victim, silencing his critics, discrediting his families, or worse. Aiding him or turning a blind eye.
So, your whole point is self-detonating…an example of two-tier policing.
English
@JonahDispatch @SavvyTamz_57 These jealous losers have no concept about economics, or how anything works.
English
The deliberate inability of people to understand — on the day of SpaceX’s IPO no less — that Musk doesn’t actually have $1 trillion in cash to be grabbed by the revenuers and redistributors is kind of amazing.
English
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.
And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!
You don't think that's worth it?
Brad Gerstner@altcap
You are smarter than this Ro. Imagine if Bernie had taxed @elonmusk 100% on his PayPal capital gains. We would have no @Tesla or @SpaceX - none of those jobs or GDP. Who do you think allocated the capital better for society? He will already pay $100 B + in taxes - more than any human ever. I hope he donates some to kids via @TrumpAccounts to make every kid a shareholder in 🇺🇸 & continues investing all his heart, soul & money for the benefit of America & all humanity! 🇺🇸🚀🤍

@Ronin72 @sunnyright At least California almond farms use 1.14 trillion gallons of water a year so they can milk almonds for almond milk🤷♂️

Wait until people finds out what happens to "used" water.
