Money. Too much of it. We should help him, take away most of that money. That'll cure him.
I heard he has a love of ketamine
Hay now, don't saddle up the rest of us ketamine enjoyers with him. Neigh...
Can't blame him tbh...
It seems he is trying to get rid of his money as fast as possible. I suggest he send me $2 billion to start so I can offload it asap. I would be his most valuable liability.
shit I could spend 10b of his money in record time! gimme 24 hours
Would love to see someone actually try to spend 10b in 24 hours without nation level infrastructure.
honestly would be difficult lol
At what point does Amazon stops letting you buy things?
i guess well find out!
Buy an airport, airline and a pacific island.
Not in 24 hours, from an unknown person, in unmarked bills
So you're saying that people trust Elon?
More like know him
But I doubt even he can buy that stuff in 24 hours. There is a lot of paperwork that take weeks.
Clearly you've never played genshin impact.
You clearly don't comprehend just how much one billion is.
nah I'd just give 1b each to like ten charities and call it a day
I know I can't actually spend 10b lol
Thats like… three rtx 4090s right?
I can only do $2B, sorry.
gotta step up your game
The way I see it, Musk is only going to provide the investment if it fits into his investment portfolio strategy. With $2 billion, I would give $1 billion to charities, and the other $1 billion I would use to purchase as many American Southeastern coast beach houses as possible. I would sell the beach houses to climate denialists at half-off, instantly losing $500 million in the process. I'd keep the $500 million from the house sales to myself, because Musk knows that some money has to be kept to keep the lights on. The purchasers of the houses would slowly watch as their new investments into their houses literally goes into the ground (er, or oceans, as it is in this case).
I figure Musk can't resist an offer this good. My genius then continues to go unchallenged, except for Musk, who can somehow tank investments faster than this.
Well, and sometimes barely even that. He was desperately shuffling around capital trying to pony up when Twitter called him on his overly generous offer to buy the company. He simply didn't have enough liquid assets to do so.
Don't do it! Flood insurance is cheap because it's subsidized by the US government. Those houses should be demolished.
