This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

He already has fuck you money so he doesn't give any fucks.

Are you serious? He wants people to think he’s cool SO bad it’s genuinely so pathetic lol. All the other billionaires you could say that. But Elon is so desperate for people to think he’s this funny cool based guy it’s hilarious

That is partly true, but also he's a strong narcissist. They make up their own stories. They'll play up the feud to take eyes off of other bad shit.

Don't think for a second he lost or he's gone or it's all over for him. He doesn't see it that way.

For now, he does have that yes, but his wealth is for a significant portion a house of cards built on the value of tesla stock. If the value of that stock falls far enough, lenders who gave him loans with tesla stock as collateral could margin call him, essentially asking for more collateral. That could make him the poorest person in the world quite quickly, i.e. billions in debt.

While you're absolutely correct, even if Musk lost 99.7% percent of his wealth he would still be a billionaire (depending on whose net worth number you choose to use). I wouldn't hold out seeing him in a bread line or starting a gofundme.

The real question is whether the collapse of his house of cards will lead to a 99.7% loss of wealth or >100% loss. He won't be a billionaire anymore if it's the latter.

[–] Subverb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, he probably will. I know I'd be surprised if he didn't have money squirreled away somewhere.

His very low self esteem shows otherwise.
