Anyone know how this is being accounted for?

Which of his assets gained him like 200+billion in the last year?

I know twitter lost value after he financed it through the saudis, so he must have gained somewhere else, anyone want to save me a Google?

So if I own a single dollar and tell everyone it’s a trillion worth … does that make me rich or am I a fool?

A fool unless you can convince an entire market that it’s a trillion dollars worth.

No, it has to be something more imaginary than a dollar, and someone else has to actually give you a dollar for it while you claim it’s only one trillionth of the amount of imaginary things you could sell to people.
