This interview will aged well. For those people who ask what is Elon Musk doing with his money? He is a trillionaire now. Here's the best answer for it.
Joy Behar: "Less than 0.1% of Elon's total net worth is actual cash sitting in a bank. That is around $1 billion or $2 billion at most. The remaining 99.9% consists of shares and ownership in companies such as SpaceX, Tesla, and others.
Those companies have created more than 160,000 direct jobs, over 600,000 indirect jobs through their supply chains, and well over 500,000 additional jobs through broader economic activity. If we do the math, at least one million people around the world are able to put food on the table because of jobs created by Elon's companies.
On the other hand, Joy, you are reportedly worth $30 million. Unlike Elon, you have not founded or owned a scalable company that creates jobs. Most, if not all, of that $30 million is likely accessible money that could be spent. Thirty million dollars is generational wealth.
As you just said, “Are you going to live forever?” Elon is not going to live forever, and neither are you. Why are you not giving away your money? With just one-third of it, you could probably feed 3,000 people for an entire year.
In your case, when it comes to cake, that would be cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cake for life. So, Joy, you have $30 million. When does your giveaway begin?"
