According to the news Elon Musk will shortly become the world’s first trillionaire ie worth a million million dollars, impossible to spend. Incredible, incomprehensible numbers
A million seconds is 11 days
A billion seconds is 31 years
A trillion seconds is 32 thousand years
If he spent about US$90,000 every single day that is how long it would take to spend it. AUS$90,000 is approximately the average annual salary in Australia = US$65000
There are already trillionaires they’re just more quiet about it (they learnt that lesson from the French Revolution!) they’re all a scourge on people and the planet - sooner humanity is rid of them (and billionaires and multi millionaires) the better.
Apparently he needs this trillion dollars to get himself to Mars. Which, for me, would be money well spent. I mean, he could have used it to end world hunger, to provide clean water and shelter for any who lacked it and probably halted all treatable diseases - and still had enough left over to live on very comfortably. But compared to that, removing Musk from this planet is still a better outcome.
