If you took $1 Trillion from Elon (assuming it was cash), it would run the U.S. government for 49 days. Not even 2 months.
The U.S. doesn't have a billionaire/trillionaire problem, it has a spending problem.
The person who solves the biggest, hardest problems in society should be rewarded with the most economic gain.
That is ultimately why Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
No one has solved problems at the frequency and scale that he has.
There are 2 types of people:
1. People who see a trillionaire and wonder how they can innovate and emulate such success
2. People who see a trillionaire and seethe with resentment
Do everything you can to ensure you're always around the first kind of person.
If you're angry that Elon Musk is now a Trillionaire, you have the wrong mindset.
Elon becoming a Trillionaire literally has nothing to do with you.
The global economy is worth roughly $100 trillion per year.
There's roughly $1 QUADRILLION in global assets. That's 1,000 trillion.
Elon's net worth is equivalent to 0.1% of the world's total asset base.
The other 99.9% exists with or without Elon.
If you're actually angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, what's really happening is that you've either:
a) have lost hope in having a good future because of circumstances in your life
b) you're wasting too much time ingesting garbage information, which is taking time away from materially improving your life's circumstance or
c) you're a jealous person that needs a lot of introspection.
For example - there are literally thousands of people who have worked at SpaceX that are now officially MILLIONAIRES because of the work they've put in.
They didn't steal it from anyway. They literally created this value out of thin air by working EXTREMELY HARD and making EXTREMELY USEFUL technology - reusable rockets.
So instead of being angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, instead channel that energy into building something that you would be proud of and society can massively benefit from.
You can actually do it. There's literally nothing stopping you but yourself. Set aside your fear, anger, or whatever other block you have, and FORCE YOURSELF to do something big.
As you can very clearly see, you will be rewarded for it MASSIVELY.
There's no better time than now.
No, you don't get it.
He does not have $1 trillion sitting in cash, it is 99% stock in his companies.
To make that wealth liquid would mean selling all that stock which would swiftly destroy *both* the companies (Tesla, SpaceX, others) and the wealth. If he sold it all, he'd end up with maybe $100b max, several hundred thousand people would be out of work, the companies ruined and many of their suppliers also ruined.
Okay, but now Elon has $100b in cash, and can "solve the world's problems".
$100b divided by the world's 8 billion people is $12
If you were in charge, several of the most innovative industrial companies in the world would be destroyed, hundreds of thousands out of work, and space would again close to human civilization for another generation.
But everyone on earth could have one nice meal and you could revel in your altruism.
Don’t touch the SpaceX “launch.”
$1.77T valuation with massive ongoing losses + fast-track index fund inclusion = recipe for a brutal rug pull.
Early insiders & funds can dump immediately. Retail gets left holding the bags.
Hard pass.
Had a friend come up to Canada from the U.S. this week…
By day two, something shifted.
They stopped commenting on the scenery…
and started looking at price tags.
Groceries? Silence.
Gas? A long pause.
Basic living? Just a quiet “how do people do this?”
By the end of the trip, they said something that stuck with me:
“This doesn’t feel sustainable.”
Not political.
Not dramatic.
Just… honest.
And that’s the part that lingers.
Because when someone from the outside sees it this clearly, you start wondering—
Have we just gotten used to it?
At what point does “normal” stop being normal?
Curious what others are seeing right now… is it getting harder where you are too?
