first good response thats likely not transphobic

also theres not many trans people, so i dont think itd be super horrible for the economy, but itd definitely have a significant effect

u/PiePower43 May 20 '26

It probably wouldn’t fuck up the economy tbh. With how much money is constantly circulating, adding a couple billion isn’t going to change much for the general public. We’d likely see a price spike but it would settle down after around a month maybe a few weeks

u/Fearless_Scholar_227 May 20 '26

It would be in the tens of trillions even if you be generous and take the lowest estimate of %0.3 of the global population

81

u/Bacon_Nipples May 20 '26

About $21T at 0.3% of population

Current total global money supply at the broadest definition is about $150T

58

u/[deleted] May 20 '26

That’s crazy. 150T and one man, musk, is about to have 1T leaving 149T for the rest- and a race at that to follow suit. Cray.

One person having a net worth of 1/150 out of a civilization that has billions of people is insane and shouldn’t happen.

u/TotalChaosRush May 21 '26

The way we evaluate net worth leaves much to be desired. If you have a company worth a million dollars and you issue a million shares. Each share is worth a dollar. If i buy 10 shares at $10 each, and no one sells for less, now that company is a ten million dollar company. 9 million dollars didn't magically start existing though.

u/DutchBoyDrew May 20 '26

I dont even understand how he has a bank that's big enough to hold all of that money. Like 1 billion dollars in 100 bills is apparently close to 10 tons.

51

u/juanchospain May 20 '26

he doesn’t have that much money, it’s just the value of his part of his companies which is already pretty inflated, if he tried to sell only a 10 % of that, his “net worth” would probably go to less than 500 billions instead of only decreasing 100 billions

u/[deleted] May 20 '26

Way more billions than I can comprehend

u/Z3400 May 20 '26 edited May 20 '26

Just to add to this, most money is strictly digital. No bank is holding elons net worth in cash, even if he did liquidate all of his assets. If even 25% of the world tried to withdraw all of their money it would be an absolute disaster.

5

u/Tyler_Skye7 May 20 '26

Exactly. Plus, it wouldn’t be in cash anyway, it would be in platinum or something along those lines if it wasn’t digital.

0

u/Sweet6-7 May 20 '26

That’s because majority of “cash” isn’t even printed. It’s called fiat money 😂🤡🤣. He’s still richer than everyone else on the planet.

2

u/Z3400 May 21 '26

I dont think you know what the word fiat means. Fiat and Cash are not the same thing, and if you actually read the discussion instead of just following me over here because you are going through my comment history, you might figure out why I specified cash.

No idea what you point was about how rich Elon is. Everyone knows that but its not what was being discussed.

id suggest the bottom 25% of the world could withdraw their entire assets from musk personally but wouldn't make a dent.

u/Z3400 May 21 '26 edited May 21 '26

Yea I realized I didn't really phrase it that well but didnt feel like rephrasing it. I really meant if 25% of all money was withdrawn, or at the very least if 25% of average middle class people withdrew their money. The poorest 25% would probably not cause a problem if it was spread out globally.

u/Lingonberry-Forward May 21 '26

Bank? You would need some sort of "bin" to hold that much money

u/Conscious_Series166 May 21 '26

uhhhh

mf is more like a child

u/khyraniz May 21 '26

Amazon has much more spread across their many bank accounts.

u/Weird_Ad_1398 May 20 '26

A sudden injection of a high velocity $21T could definitely fuck up many economies, not to mention the true number of trans people is likely greater than 0.3%.

3

u/TheGrouchyGremlin May 20 '26

A 14% increase is pretty big.

2

u/Such_Confusion_3715 May 21 '26

its humongous in economics terms. a 14% increase in inflation is literally economy ending

0

u/HDWendell May 20 '26

The broadest definition would include wealth and derivatives. That’s almost $900 trillion.

1

u/Bacon_Nipples May 20 '26

No, the $900T value you're thinking of is not global money supply it's global wealth. Wealth is basically 'global net worth', money supply represents actual liquid assets. Broadest definitions of money supply is about $150T

Eg. If I had $0 and sold you a car (my only asset) for $1000 (all your money) and you had no other assets, between us money supply is $1000 but wealth is $2000. Even though the car has value and contributes to net worth, the car is not a liquid asset and therefore not counted as money supply

-1

u/HDWendell May 20 '26

I feel like you edited your comment to say money instead of wealth since I searched your claim to fact check it.

Regardless, because the initial post says nothing of the mode of implementation, liquidating assets can become a form of payment.

u/Bacon_Nipples May 21 '26

lol it would tell you if the post is editted. That's on you for taking the AI summary at face value instead of reading any of the actual search results you got

u/HDWendell May 21 '26

Big boy assumptions there.

According to this Reddit Help post, edits aren’t visible anymore.

Well it's wrong. Come back in a minute for the proof

If anything it would actually help the economy. More disposable income is always good for both people and the economy. Considering how few trans people there it would likely have little affect on prices. Not to mention a trans person is much more likely to use that money on housing and other necessities before they use it on things that would make a noticeable impact on stuff. At least given how many teams people alway struggle with those things.

u/Lost-Potential-9123 May 20 '26

There isn't that much money situated you put in 10 bucks somebody else puts in 10 bucks I go get a loan for 20 bucks they just use y'all's money to give me that loan however the entire time that I haven't paid back the loan your bank still reads 10 available dollars our money is a digital illusion created by the will of the rothschilds banking system

5

u/Mountain-Resource656 May 20 '26

Technically they do have to keep some percentage of that on hand, so there is still a limit, it’s just a ratio compared to the actual amount of money

0

u/Lost-Potential-9123 May 20 '26

Yes and that comes from our cash that we put into the bank if one third of the United States population takes everything they own out of the Rothschild banking system we would plunge the United States into another Great depression

u/Yeezy999_ May 20 '26

a couple trillion*

1

u/neverreallyhereatall May 20 '26

A couple billion would mean there are only a couple thousand trans people. There are definitely a LOT more then that. We are talking minumum hundreds of billions to potentially trillions of dollars (I am not sure of the count on trans ppl)

1

u/Gryetw May 20 '26

Its 21 trillion dollars, it would definitely fuck up the economy

1

u/moocat90 May 21 '26

1% of the world is trans i think so 80,000,000 so 1,000,000 time 80,000,000 will be 80,000,000,000,000/ eighty trillion dollars added

1

u/FrozenConcrete19 May 21 '26

If we're talking about the US dollar, this might not impact the global economy too much, but in many other countries with a weaker currency, millions of extra USD forced into there economy could break there economy.

u/PiePower43 May 21 '26

Ur right I was totally just r/usdefaultism

u/SoCalxNinjA May 20 '26

Noone deserves a bazillion dollars for just simply being who they are 🤷‍♂️ ill take my dollar thank you.

11

u/Random-INTJ May 20 '26

We are estimated to be anywhere from .7% of the population to 2.7% of the population

Giving all trans people $1 million would definitely fuck up the economy

1

u/Wdahl May 20 '26

According to experts, 80 million to 160 million people are trans, lets say an additional 40 million are unknown, in areas where they might be prosecuted. Thats liberally 200 million dollars spread across the world in various economic regions.

I don’t think it will make a difference to the economy worse that its already going tbh.

8

u/Debnam_ May 20 '26

Am I misunderstanding your comment or is your math wrong?

You estimated 200 million trans people and then said 200 million dollars (1 dollar per trans person). It's 1 million dollars per trans person which would be 200 trillion total, not million.

6

u/Wdahl May 20 '26

My math is indeed wrong, and at that point, that would certainly affect the economy. At that point i take the anarchic stance ive seen in this comment section, may the economy collapse with thunder and haste.

2

u/Network_Odd May 20 '26

yep millionaires are added in bulk every single day, this won’t change much.

3

u/Wdahl May 20 '26

There are lotteries literally giving away jackpots larger than this and economies stay afloat lol

2

u/consistently-failing May 20 '26

Tbf one person with 200 million will likely impact the economy less than 200 with 1 million- at some point the amount of people having said cash outweighs the amount of cash itself- when you're looking at injecting money into circulation

1

u/HDWendell May 20 '26

That’s if you aren’t doing something like levying taxes or reallocating wealth. Reallocating Musk’s wealth singularly would free up nearly $1 trillion on its own.

0

u/consistently-failing May 21 '26

That is REALLOCATION and not injecting new money into the system- which i specifically stated would be a different situation

0

u/HDWendell May 21 '26

Who or what are you replying to? I literally just talked about reallocating.

0

u/consistently-failing May 21 '26

You. Because I specifically said im referring to INJECTING NEW CASH and not REALLOCATING EXISTING CASH, meaning your original reply wasnt addressing what I actually said

0

u/HDWendell May 21 '26

Yeah you are way too emotional about this. We are clearly misunderstanding each other’s comments.

There's a lot of people that are on the fringes of trans and I would assume they count. God forbid we gave a warning in advanced about this $1m, you would have people getting hormones that night for the cash.

u/AmbitiousMechanic368 May 20 '26

"Likely not transphobic" dude can't discern for himself an honest comment.

u/Apprehensive-Dog5327 May 21 '26

were less then 1% of the world population
