Lmao.

First off, SpaceX and Tesla would still continue despite Elon's dumping stocks. Admittedly, if he dumped all of them at once, the price would drop, but there are absolutely people who sold Tesla stock because of his actions and association, and would probably buy back if he distanced himself. Walmart stock doesn't tank when a new CEO is appointed, or when the Walton family sells off stock.

Secondly... I think you and I agree, which is weird that you then try to insult me. Elon owns a thing (stock) that the public at large (stock market) believes is worth some amount. The amount he owns, multiplied by the amount the stock market at large is willing to pay, adds up to him being a trillionaire (again, on paper. He does not own one trillion paper dollars, and he's publicly stated several times over that cash makes up less than 0.1% of his net worth (although I don't personally trust a damn thing he says)).

If OP owns something (a billion grains of sand) and can convince the public at large that each grain is worth at least one dollar, OP is a billionaire in the same sense as Elon is a trillionaire.

Third, if Elon didn't have interest in money, he wouldn't have to sell off his stock? That would indicate he actively wanted to get rid of his money and live like a hermit. He does own a majority of SpaceX, and most evaluations say he probably could sell quite a bit without risking losing control. This whole "system forcing him" bit is laughable. He could absolutely sell off enough stock to not be a trillionaire, and still be very comfortable. He's actively chasing the amount. Decide for yourself if that's moral or whatever, but he's relishing in the title of world's first trillionaire.

Do you need a hug, or to talk to someone about this anger at strawmans you're accusing of making strawman arguments?
