Downvoted for use of stupid characters. So cringe. It’s the tinfoil hat of text.

I downloaded for defending a rich person. "His networth is tied up in stocks" is the kinda shit someone says who doesn't understand that that doesn't make them any less rich. A trillionaire means a trillion dollars of your shit is owned by him, houses and farmlands and workers and production capacity and art. No one should be allowed to have more than 10-20 million, at that amount they can pick someone to never have to work again in their life every year for the rest of their life. That's too much money.

It's not defending a rich person, it's a statement of fact pertinent to the conversation.

Musk has most of his net worth in volatile investments. The total value of those investments once exceeded $1tn, but have lost value and no longer exceed $1tn. Therefore, he is no longer a trillionaire.

No other implications were made. Stop tilting at windmills.
