the cool version of this headline would append “And last.”
This should be taken as an obvious, conclusive refutation of the idea that capitalism is a meritocracy.
one trillion divorces
one trillion mental breakdown
one trillion estranged children
but at least you got that money on paper
He has one trillion of intrinsically worthless, made up thing. Too bad it can’t buy him happiness.
Look at the bright side: He’s a deeply unhappy person and he will never get the validation from the masses he so desperately craves
i’m horrifyingly depressed and broke, i’d take the money
This feels like a collective moral failure that this was allowed to happen
We are really running out of excuses for the terror.
kind of a bad look Hexbear :^)
Hexbears can go on little a adventure, as a treat
ADVENTURE TIME
Not if we do something about it
Wait so >3% of the US GDP, almost double the annual GDP growth rate? Meaning if he moved his assets and companies and citizenship to another country, he could singlehandedly cause a major recession?
That’s rockefeller territory. That’s standard oil. Incidentally John D. Rockefeller as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics inflation calculator and wikipedia’s estaimate of his fortune was worth about 20 billion in today’s money. Neoliberalism has made money so much more fake than it already was.
Reinventing the Fugger family from first principles but without any of their instincts to do charity or be liked
Technically Xi Jinping is the first trillionaire because he has the entire Chinese economy as his personal fortune as a dictator
The economy is fake and this is yet more proof of it. Fucking bozo-ass garbage. Clown world.
You could call it Bezo-ass garbage if he gets a bit richer.
Yea well he wasn’t the first cuz he didn’t bullshit his way there enough so now I won’t.
A trillion dollars is about what the US spends on social security or the entire military each year. Somehow, I doubt a space company that keeps blowing up its rockets and not going into space is somehow worth the same as what it costs to build/maintain thousands of guns, ships, tanks, and jets or provide healthcare to millions of elderly and disabled.
Like maaaaaaaybe if SpaceX was maintaining a large space station comparable to the ISS and having people walk on the moon on a regular basis. But right now, it’s a paper tiger. Fairy dust. Hullabaloo.
You forgot his highly invaluable social media platform central to the AI porn industry and the neo-nazi crypto scam industry
Cancer doesn’t itself with what it does and its consequences.
Bury him alive and make him dig his own grave. Then he’ll have put in some useful work for once.
Bro might have a trillion dollars on paper but can he get an “I love you” over text?
Last, Marx willing
