I guess he must be doing some thing right!

Elon Musk.

Expect outrage from the usual suspects accusing him of sitting on a huge pile of $100 bills stolen from widows and orphans.

[Wacky Racer]

Money is meaningless to people like him, it's just a number.

Fair play to him though.

[crofty1984]

Thank goodness. The poor love needed more money.

[MrBogSmith]

He's as incredible in some areas as much of a tool he is in others.

[clockworks]

So, if Musk sold everything at current valuation, and could take it all as actual cash, he'd own around 40% of all the US currency.

Can we just be outraged at his moronic chainsaw antics which, as just a single example, has led to the resurgence of the screw worm in the US because studies into the sex life flies was deemed to be woke.

He a dangerous narcissist who believes his own myth.

I've no issue with wealth...but I do take great issues with the wealthy having power over governments.

Only another 2 trillion to go and he can pay off our national debt.

[Sheets Tabuer]

He needs a trillionaires yacht now.

Momento Mori!

He’ll be remembered as the worlds first trillionaire, a genius by some, an absolute psycho by others.

Interesting article on how he is gaming (and not in a good way) the stock market and investment funds.

Ignore the first section about racism (tho Elon Musk is a terrible judge of liking tweets; it’s the second section that is interesting.

I wonder how he will be viewed in 10, 20 30 years.

I think it won't be as favourably as some seem to think he should be now.

[BigMon]

He is, to put it mildly, a rather divisive character.

I have no doubt he is in some ways a genius, but he's also in some ways a massively objectionable full weight walloper.

By the time he wired it over this lot would have spunked another trillion or two.

I mean, why not both?

He could just help his mate Donald out and pay off 5% of the US national debt. Hardly seems worth the bother as it’ll just get spunked on an arch or a ballroom or something.

[Hippea]

It’s quite stark how in the past 30 years the rich have got so much richer

[ziggy328]

The gap continues to widen and the social contract gets ever more strained. I’m 56. I hope it doesn’t break in my lifetime as it will be grim.

QUESTION . . .

Not just related to SpaceX but how is an initial share price set ?

Pretty sure they just make it up.
