Its hard to fathom that much money. The best way Ive seen it worded is the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollarsis about a billion dollars. Now think about how far removed from just a million dollars the average person is, and how many billions someone like Elon Musk has. Im not against people being rich. But money is a finite resource; theres only so much of it at any one time and we just see wealth disparity increase year after year and now we see people like Elon who have accumulated so much wealth he can simply buy his politicians, elections, social media spaces, etc. anything he doesnt like he can go ahead and control, if he wants to. And no matter how many billions he spends or loses, his day-to-day life will never change in any meaningful way whatsoever. If he lost your life-time earnings in a single day he probably wouldnt even know it, and would make it all back in literally about 10 minutes passing.
