Sounds like they're likely also to find themselves in legal trouble

At least one can hope

I thought about that; then I thought what that guy makes in a few minutes'interest on his offshore accounts is probably more than all of Brazil, in a year, and since taxes fund the government and a host of other things, idk

The country of Brazil makes something like 20x Musk's total net worth, but every year.

Plus net worth != actual money.

Actually Brasil make 20x musk total net worth per trimester

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 8 months ago

Good. May they do what is necessary.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 57 points 8 months ago

People like musk don't make money, they make credit.

Or Brazil. That's the eight largest economy in the world. They headline BRICS for a reason. Sure, China is the true headliner there, but the fact is that Brazil is included in those 5 countries for a reason (multiple actually). There's absolutely no way for a single individual to eclipse the value of the world's 8th largest economy. Pick a country with a lower GDP than Hungary and then we'll talk
