always liked the tom scott video where he walks the distance of a million then drives the distance of a billion.

LINK

about a minute to walk to a million then over an hour to drive to a billion.

How long until he becomes a trillionaire?

This is what 1 billion looks like against 1 million.



1 thousand is 1,000 dollar bills
1 million is 1,000 "thousand dollar bills"
1 billion is 1,000 "million dollar bills"

we can keep going but that chart is dumb.

I like visuals. And in general people sometimes people don't truly compute the scale of things until they see it in visuals.

The world’s richest person is an African-American.

But leftists want to talk to us about how America is built on systematic racism.


This needs repeating.

Elon is my favorite African American. Many others I like, but he's the best one.

Elon is wealthy to the rich. Once you have so many moneys, all the things rich people do is poor people stuff. A billionaire buys a car company. An Elon rich billionaire BUILDS HIS OWN car company, his own rockets, his own flamethrowers.

His wealth isn't stopping at trillionaire


Elon's wealth will allow him to finance more ginormous "impossible" projects, without being beholden to banks and shareholders.

The government spends Elon’s net worth and more every year and can’t solve any of those problems, so why do these idiots think Elon can solve them?


The government could not safely and efficiently maintain the space shuttle program.

Musk has already taken the task far beyond what NASA could do in the next 50 years. How the brilliance escapes these idiots is mind-boggling.

Just think of all the good he could do with that money. He could keep just one billion and help millions of needy people around the world.

Governments are already spending trillions around the globe "helping" people. Why would Elon's money make a difference?
