Meanwhile my net worth keeps going lower and lower.

I still think the first trillionaire should be dipped in gold and put on display as a warning.

This has already been debunked. Tesla would have to continue to climb at the rate it has since its inception, and that is very unlikely to happen.

Informa notes that Musk’s net worth has been growing rapidly at an average rate of 110% per year, making him the “clear favorite” to hit the $1 trillion first.

That is some terrible extrapolation

Nah, with his recent track record I suspect prison time and a huge loss of money
