Student: âSo Elon Musk is a trillionaire?â
Me: âYup.â
Student: âHow did he get that much money?â
Me: âWell, he doesnât really have a trillion dollars cash. He just owns a lot of stock in companies that are valued at a trillion dollars.â
Student: âSo those companies make huge profits?â
Me: âOh gosh no. They all lose billions of dollars a year. All of them. Huge losses.â
