Having stocks worth a trillion doesn't mean you have that money. he couldn't sell those to get the trillion, it has to stay unrealized, kinda forever. it's like how Bitcoin has a market cap of $1.3 trillion but if you tried to sell like 20% of all Bitcoin the price would immediately crash.
Had my first like actual hot weather run, about 81 degrees, 70% humidity. I soaked my shirt and hat with the hose before I started which worked for about 10 minutes. Sometimes I miss Colorado.
That the world's first ever trillionaire is ALSO a white supremacist, a shameless asshole whose decisions to kill USAID & PEPFAR will cost millions their lives, who cooperates with those fascists for whom other fascists aren't fascist enough is the perfect sign that we live in the #assholocene.

New groundbreaking research about AI just dropped
Trump is stuck in a doom loop where he wants a better deal than Obama got and he wants it to look like Iran cowardly surrendered, and he needs it done before oil markets explode and inflation turns into a political bloodbath, but Iran doesn't trust him and is firmly set on their requirements and Israel has no intention of cooperating with any deal whatsoever.
If You Have a 401(k), How Much SpaceX Stock Will You Own?

If you have index funds — such as in a 401(k) — they may soon include shares of the mega company. Here’s a rough calculation.
