Melon Husk does little to nothing to benefit Humanity. Consider that he merely uses his "ventures" as a GRIFT to accumulate the INSANE wealth he has, then uses that wealth to fool the lot of us into thinking this is a good thing. It is most certainly NOT. People are DYING simply because this system we are all trapped in REWARDS PSYCHOPATHS and USES the rest of us to bolster their power. ENOUGH.

(this is brought to you by a person who is 4 DAYS older than that ghoul, and FAR MORE compassionate towards his fellow Humans than he is. ugh!)

Even though it's the collective effort of engineers & designers, Tesla has benefited people by improving manufacturing designs & processes that haven't been updated much in a century. That's something.

SpaceX has yet to prove it's worth besides operating as a taxi for NASA. But we'll see - maybe it'll be good for something.

Maybe some of his other ventures, too.

But not his twitter takeover lol that's a s**tshow I hear. I don't use twitter so I'm never on it, but the news about it is all bad and people are losing Billions of dollars. Some software engineer figures elon is tanking it on purpose just to get rid of it while the value was in buying the massive dataset to train AI with and that elon's long game play is to have the best AI for world domination. Maybe, who knows ?

I sort of get it now but my brain still hurts when I try to comprehend it.

So giving 7 billion people 7 billion dollars each is 7 billion times 7 billion, which is...4.9e+19 (I done it on an online calculator and copied and pasted the answer to here). I think the +19 bit means 19 zeros. I don't know what the "e" means but it looks like a large number.


Yeah it would cost a billion billion dollars to give a billion people 1 billion dollars each.

I think there was a clash here between poor understanding of maths and very poor teaching methods.
