There's no way Elon is as rich as Bezos lol. Does he claim to be the richest person in the world?

Edit: that's crazy, like literally I've never used anything Elon's companies have produced, and pretty much the whole web uses Amazon web services. Are emerald mines really that profitable? ๐Ÿคฃ

I think his stocks are inflated on his hype, and if you're an American your taxes have got to him through NASA.

Can we try to keep the conversation separate? Despite the fact that fucking jackass owns SpaceX, they've been good for space tech. Tesla on the other hand haven't done shit that other companies haven't done better by now.

Fair enough for SpaceX, it's only doing so well because he doesn't control it.

He seems to have a pretty heavy stake in pump & dump crypto schemes too

Tesla isn't even in the top 10 for either cars produced or revenue. It being the highest valued car manufacturer in the world is just empty hype.

Elon funded PayPal, and they forced him out when it became successful and he wanted to change its name to X. I'm not making that up. So you likely used PayPal at some point.
