I saw someone say Elon Musk is worth $185 billion.

Which is absurd. Elon Musk HAS $185 billion in assets at the moment, maybe. But that’s not what he’s WORTH.

If something happened to Elon, we wouldn’t pay $185 billion to get another one.

@maxleibman

Oh come on. He's worth that in entertainment value alone.

He's also doing more for the Fediverse than anyone else on earth.

I laughed.

@maxleibman Personally, i woudn't pay even 1$ to get another one...
@maxleibman Perfect. Musk is, in fact, worse than worthless. His very existence, as a Nazi, is negative equity.
@maxleibman I wouldn’t waste a Shop Rite coupon on Musk.
@maxleibman for only $1 million a year, I could be an asshole to you. It's much cheaper than replacing Phony Stark.
@maxleibman nooo you don’t get it. You can buy Elon musk for $185 billion. In case you want him in your pool or w.e
@maxleibman I would pay good money and become an activist for the cause of ensuring there isn’t another dipshit like him. Ever.
@maxleibman if I had $185b I'd pay it to make him go away.
@maxleibman In fact, if I had an Elon Musk, I'd sell him for far less than that and might even give him away to a charity shop. If they wanted him at all.
@maxleibman Agreed. I think many people think that's what he has in his bank account, like he could spend all of it in a single day. The moment he sells 25% of his stocks, the next 75% will be worth a whole lot less.
@maxleibman I don’t think anyone wants a new Elon Musk 🤦‍♀️
@maxleibman maybe it's the sum that people are willing to pay to be sure that something happen to him ? 🤣
@maxleibman LOL. Personally, I doubt I'd give $1.85.
@maxleibman I wouldn't even pay attention to him.
@maxleibman @riley Only possible conclusion is to melt him into his core elements.
@maxleibman @riley Presumably, like many things well past their prime, he’d fetch more as parts. Worth exploring.

@migriverat: But what if somebody builds two new ones out of the parts?

@maxleibman

@riley @maxleibman I am totally willing for society to make that gamble.

@maxleibman

What would it cost to NOT get another one?

@JoeMcConn It would be a bargain at any price.

@maxleibman I wouldn't pay $1.85

I'd pay $185 to NOT have a Muskian techbro

@maxleibman

I bet some of his fans would say he's worth every cent of $185 billion.
