    correct.

    hell, i could live my ‘best’ life off of musk’s ‘sofa cushion’ money:

    $2.5m is more than enough for me to live on just using investment proceeds–in perpetuity.

    $2.5m to him (with ~ $436b) is the equivalent of fifty-seven cents to someone with $100k (in the bank, investments, retirement, home equity, etc). now, i don’t have $100k, not even close. just using it as an example here. my equivalent would be more like half a cent.

      They’re mentally ill IMO. Like that old person hoarding vacuum cleaners, diapers, dogfood, etc.

      The most infuriating thing is that for them it’s just a number, for society it stifles innovation and wellbeing.
