Musk doesn't care about that one iota. He has more money than god. And he's done that by being fairly effective as the head of two big companies.


>He has more money than god.

Yeah ok ... <cue the Titanic sinking>.


The guy has 15X more money than god (using the Vatican's wealth as a proxy).


I'm pretty sure the Vatican's (by which you I assume include the entirety of the Catholic Church) art assets alone top the $10-12 billion you're valuing the entire church at, to say nothing of their property, 1 billionish loyal followers or legal status as a country.


> using the Vatican's wealth as a proxy

Sounds like a huge logical fallacy.


I'm open to other measures; anything's better than "IDK infinite." What do you propose?


I think it hard to justify a definition of God's wealth that isn't everything or nothing.


Nah, he's done that by inheriting a bunch of rather blood-soaked wealth and then being fairly effective at predicting which companies he could buy that would then make him a lot of money.


Reality doesn't care if Musk doesn't care. For certain purchases, there's a probability that Musk will simply find that his money is no good. Not for sale to Elon Musk at any price.
