"Interesting perspective:
If somebody had made $5,000 every day since the forefathers landed in America in 1620,they still wouldn't be very close to having made a billion dollars. "
That sounds like one of those things that shouldn't be right but I can't be arsed to do the calculations  |

You do all understand that this is net worth, I.e. book value? So for instance, if it was suddenly discovered that fossil fuel isn't the demon it seems be be, electric cars would loose their appeal, Tesla share price would crash and Mr Musk would be down the soup kitchen for his lunch.

"He had a good idea and an incredible work ethic.
And his parents gave him $300,000 and a garage to work out of to get started."
Which was false information.
Last year he was almost broke by the way. |

"But are they happy? "
Pretty sure he doesn't really give a damn about the money considering he works 100hr weeks to advance car and space technology. |
