    The weird thing is that this weirdo has more money than it is even possible for him or us to comprehend.

    He could lose 99% of his net worth and still be one of the richest men alive.

      I kinda wonder about this in regards to the weird way these people structure their money/finances against their wealth. While I’m sure Elon’s bank account shows not figures then mine ever will, it’s my understanding is a lot of the “wealth” is tied up in assets like stock etc, and they then borrow against the stock for actual liquid cash-flow, such Elon did in order to buy X.

      So my hope is still that at some point, Tesla takes enough of a dive that the bank makes a call and if he doesn’t have enough liquid capital to pay back the loans he might get outsted. Having Tesla survive sans-Elon would be great IMO

        So, in Mexico, I don’t if someplace else too, Sushi Roll used to have a drink called Bora Bora and a roll called Bora Bora. I really liked the drink but apparently was causing troubles because waiters kept bringing Bora Bora rolls to people who ordered the Bora Bora drink. This made Sushi Roll to discontinue the drink. This doesn’t have anything to do with your comment or the thread itself, I’m just still pissed.
