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 @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.
