Been watching this case with him calling the main rescuer in Thailand when those kids got trapped in a cave a Pedo on twitter, I think Vern Unsworth wanted $ 170 million for defamation, I think if he would have settled for about £ 50,000, Musk would have paid up out of court.

Something something 'wealth creators' or something

Whilst I get the overall point about obscene wealth, Musk is a a bit of an outlier.

At the risk of heading into number noncery:

SpaceX represents north of 750bn dollars of his wealth - it only went public last week - with an unusally high percentage of shares availble to retail investors - it lost 5 billion dollars last year - so the share price is based on some very optimistic forward projections.

Tesla shares (north of 280bn of his wealth) also trade on a price/earnings ratio of 350+ - the s&p 500 index is currently trading in the 30s and is considered a bit overvalued.

But what if you have it in CASH

under the Mattress

Volume of $1 trillion in $100 bills

The total volume would be approximately 11,000 cubic metres.

What does 11,000 m³ look like?

A cube about 22 metres (72 ft) on each side.

Roughly 4–5 Olympic swimming pools worth of volume.

About the volume of a large aircraft hangar.

Around 150 average UK houses worth of internal volume.

If the cash was in $100 notes it would take 317 years to count them.

I don’t know if there are enough notes in circulation.🤷‍♂️

That’s not for me or you to decide. What if Bill Gates and Warren Buffet decided to knock it on the head when reaching X amount. Over 100 billion wouldn’t have made it to the numerous charities and foundations they support, saving god knows how many lives.

Are you a cunt if you're worth 950 million or is it exclusively for billionaires?

Yep, massive cunt.

If it was under his bed and he fell out…time to hit the deck….

That’s about 7.9 minutes.

Reality check

A person falling from that height would quickly reach terminal velocity, so the fall would actually take much longer—on the order of 5–6 hours rather than 8 minutes.

Answer

* Physics textbook answer (vacuum): about 8 minutes.

* More realistic answer (with air resistance): about 5½ hours.

Apparently it/was a crime to deface a note but setting fire to it isn't

Presumably because nobody would set fire to money

Nah it was just because they could and had the money

There's a documentary on Amazon prime, I think, called 'Who killed the KLF?'

They were pissed off about having to share a Brit Award with Simply Red so decided fuck it and did what they did at the ceremony
