If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could buy every homeless person in the US a $990,000 house.
If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could eliminate world hunger for 24 years.
If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, We could buy every NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL team. We’d have enough money left over to also buy the top 20 European Soccer teams.
If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could fund NASA at its current budget for 40 years.
Alternatively if we just took all his assets and didn't kill him we could put Elon Musk to work in an emerald mine in South Africa and get some added value.
Now that’s a capitalism!
I feel like that wouldn't be a net gain. How does science feel about his fresh juicy organs?
I personally haven't ever owned an emerald mine. How often do they conduct the math which weighs the value of a miners output versus the value of their biological mass as a food source?
The first part of their little equation might work, the second part though...
Sounds to me we should kill this Elon Musk character.
These are true facts, however it's also true that we already have a number of unsold homes on the market greater than we have number of homeless people. We already make enough food to feed everyone. We just choose to let people sleep hungry on the streets. That's what our democracy has voted for.
So what does musk's billions and trillions matter? He could have two trillion tomorrow, and we'd still have enough money as a country to take care of everyone, and we would count up the votes that say not to.
These are just examples meant to give context on how much money he has.
And what does that context mean then?
You couldn't. You would have to sell stock that is at 350p/e ratio. The second you kill him the stocks would lose 800 trillion overnight and you couldn't realize 90% of that.
Nah. Do what rich people actually do, take a loan out against the stock holdings.
But that wouldn't work when the stocks lose all the value
Huh, I had no idea that bootlickers were allowed to post here, but here you are, showing your ass to the world.
That guy's post history is so chock-full of awful bootlicker takes that it's indistinguishable from an astroturf bot.
And yet no one here can actually figure out how to tax billionaires.
So smart.
Oh yeah I misread the original statement. Tesla is a meme stock so they probably would lose value.
You had me a we could kill musk.
