To put Elmo's wealth in perspective

[Greyhead]

$22977.69 a hour for 24 hours a day for 365 days a year for 2024 years equals $407.4B
Nobody is worth that much.
Mostly we paid for his wealth with govt contracts.
And he has to hire H1B employees because I suspect he doesn’t think he is making enough!!
WTF

1. Just outta curiosity, I wonder how his will is structured

Like if he dies, does it get split between his dozen or so children? 🤔

3. I'd be surprised if any of his children inherited anything like his wealth

[rurallib]

5. he's taking it with him

[Walleye]

2. He never would've made and held onto that money without the protection of the United States government

But he’s too stingy to pay any taxes for the service he’s getting. I’m pretty sure I warlord or somebody would try and take over his fortune if he weren’t in the shelter of good old America.

4. It's a projection of Eloon's deepest insecurity...

He knows he’s a fraud. In order to protect his secret, it’s not enough to have everything, he must make sure everyone else has nothing. He can’t have anyone questioning him.

6. Holy shit, and he's worried about paying taxes.

I hate these rich assholes!

7. He doesnt even pay the highest wages in the field

Most of the appeal to work for Elon was the stock options which were sweet early. His companies hire out of college, dump by 30. Only a few work long term. There are whole companies basically built of ex-Musk employees that found greener pasture and more sane work hours and benefits elsewhere.

8. As Mary Trump accurately stated .. . .

Enough is never enough for Trump or the majority of the billionaire class. The greed is off the charts, equal or worse than that of the Robber Barons during the Gilded Age. Corporate interests and greed heads rule the day.

History tells us this will not end well.

9. It's also important to realize that the motivation for the holocaust was to steal.

The Nazis needed to finance their Reich. So they stole and stole. Humans were seen solely as an exploitable resource. Like lumber or coal. Over time they needed more and more and as they did new categories of sub-humans were added to be zeroed out. They took everything these people had… Everything.

10. WHy do people call him Elmo?

Personallly i prefer Muskrat.

[Hugin]

11. I'd prefer not to call him at all.

Nobody ever listens to me. He seems perfectly content chatting with himself on his broken toy.

13. I've chosen Muck and Eeloon / Eelon / Egoloon. He's as slippery as an eel. . . . . nt

12. Instead...

He should be confined to a mental health facility of some kind and not out among the public.

14. Not even close, $22,977.69 an hour is "only" $200,733,099.84 a year (as in 200 million)

$22,977.69 an hour you said. Times that by 24, it equals $551,464.56 a day. Times that by 7, and that equals $3,860,251.92 a week. Times that by 52, and that equals $200,733,099.84 a year.

Unless you did a typo (you did forget the comma). Maybe you meant $229,777.69 a year? Let me see...

Nope. Even that amount is only $2,007,337,899.84 a year. Chump change for Elon.

15. His yearly wage times 2024. In other words for every hour of every day since the time of christ

Hrs x days x years =405.7 billion.
