Elon sleeps on friends’ couches (allegedly) and says he lives “near or below the poverty line” for liquid cash. I call bull, but he does have a point. When you’re worth $200 billion, an extra million doesn’t change your Saturday morning.
But think about it: while you’re reading this sentence—about 5 seconds—Elon just made enough to buy a luxury vacation to Bali. First class. For the whole family. You’re still reading. He just bought Bali.
So next time you see a Tesla drive by, remember: that car costs about four minutes of his life. Your car cost a few months of yours. The world is weird. And Elon Musk is the weirdest, richest part of it. Cheers to that.
