I can also run a successful business into the ground, and I would do it for a lot less money.
Edit
I saw a meme earlier and adapted it from billions to trillions. It is a literally unimaginable number.
How Much Is A Trillion?
1 million seconds = about 12 days
1 billion seconds = about 32 years
1 trillion seconds = about 31,710 years. This long ago was the beginning of the last ice age, and before the invention of rope.
1 million minutes ago was approximately 2 years ago
1 billion minutes ago was the year 114 AD,
1 trillion minutes was 1.9 million years ago, the time of the earliest known homo erectus fossils, distant ancestors of modern humans.
1 million hours ago it was the dawn of the 20th century (1901)
1 billion hours ago was 114k years ago, the time when neanderthals first began using seashells as personal decorations. The Sahara desert is a marshland.
1 trillion hours ago was 114.2 million years ago, the Cretaceous period, time of dinosaurs like the Stegosaurus and Triceratops, and the time when bees first evolved. Humans would not evolve for millions more years.
1 million days ago it was about 700BC, Rome was a small village and writing had only just begun to spread.
1 billion days ago was 2.7 million years BC. If all the time since then were compressed to one year, all of recorded history would be just a couple of hours.
1 trillion days ago was 2.7 billion years BC, and the only life on earth were single-cell organisms. Pangaea did not exist yet.
The entire universe is only 13.8 billion years old, so 1 trillion weeks ago is older than reality itself. That’s how much money Musk was just paid for destroying Tesla.
Just physically having 1 billion dollars would take up the majority of a room, stacked up as a solid mass of $100 bills. It's physically impossible to have 100 billion dollars in the same place, let alone 1 trillion.

Those bees won't shut up about it either
You fucked this up.
By your own logic humans wouldn't evolve for at minimum another 85.8 million years from today, which is obviously weekend because humans wrote both my statement and yours so we already exist
You are correct! It’s now fixed.
