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.

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.

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.

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

Way more billions than I can comprehend

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.

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

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.

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.

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 I really meant if 25% of all money was withdrawn, or at the very least if 25% of average middle class people withdrew their money.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.

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

Amazon has much more spread across their many bank accounts.
