    If they wanted to rehire me, I would demand a golden parachute. No fucking way would I go back and risk it happening all over again.

          For a guy who lost in court a payout of 50 Billions in compensation from Tesla, blocked by shareholders and a drop in value of Twitter’s acquisition of 20 Billions more, sounds like numbers on a screen, but these are really life changing amounts, even for him.

          So yes, he’s kinda finding out.

            Sorta, but not really.

            Just cause numbers of worth that are literally unimaginable by most people have gone down but are still at levels that would set up 10k+ people for life easily?

            If he gets to the point of being worth as much as his average worker, then sure, he probably find out (still not to the level of his fuck around though).

            So long as he can live the same lifestyle, it doesn’t matter if he’s worth 5M or 5T, it’s all the same.

              I see your point yes. At the same time a difference from the the richest man in the world to the second richest is only one place, but there’s no second place for the richest man, is just one.

              As of May 2024, Elon Musk’s net worth is approximately $194.6 billion, making him the second richest person in the world. Bernard Arnault, the chairman and CEO of LVMH, currently holds the title of the richest person with a net worth of $212.1 billion [❞] [❞] [❞]. This puts Musk about $17.5 billion behind Arnault.

                If going from richest to second richest is finding out after fucking around? Yeah no.

                Unless it actually changes significantly this manchilds daily life, it’s not finding out(and I mean changes to more like any other human on earth, not changes from bragging about being rich on Twitter, to crying about not being richest on drumpfSocial).

                I mean seriously. A worth of “only” 194,600,000,000? It’s almost like he could equally split that between 97,299 other people (2,000,000 each) and none of them would HAVE to work another day in their lives.

                What the fuck have we done with society, when we have collectively decided that this person is worth 7,784,000 years (average 80yrs/person) and everyone else can go fuck themselves.

                What does “excess” even mean?
