    How many heirs fighting in courts all over the world does it take to redistribute a multi-billioniare’s wealth through court fees, lawyer fees, accountants, penalties, etc until none of them are supreme-wealthy anymore? Just never work again wealthy.

    Even if some of them don’t really want it, they could still find lawyers to fight on contingency and let them drain the wealth. Then donate whatever they might eventually get, if anything.

    For example, Anna Nicole and her late husband’s son effectively fed lawyers for years and years. Michael Jackson’s estate has been tied up in litigation for decades. And Mike had 3 kids, Anna one surviving kid.

    With over a dozen and counting Leon kids, and a ton of potential other types of suits incoming from world-wide plantiffs, it’ll be interesting to see how that estate eventually gets drained and dispersed.

      His money is basically incomprehensible to how we regularly think. If he hired a law firm to work on each case 24/7 for the entire year at $5000/hr, and then even if each inheritance case took 20 years and he had 50 children suing him simultaneously it’d cost him billions–but he’d still have hundreds of billions left. Fuck billionaires

        I think net worth is pretty different of what real assets he may have which is what his descendants would inherit theoretically. But still ot eill be a truckload.

        Wait so 24*7*365*5000*20*50 is less then what this man owns??

        = $306.600.000.000

        Damn.

        edit: the * mssed with the formatting, by the way crazy fact, the lawfirm in this case would bill 1.226.400 hours per case/child.

          Even smaller, 24x365, drop the 7 in your equation since that just tells us to bill all 365 days of the year

            A lol, thank you, IANA mathematician obviously. Well to keep the math correct, we could say the lawfirm had 7 people work the case 24hrs 365 days a year.

            But damn that man is rich

    It must be said again.

    There are no good billionaires. Every one of them is doing stupid shit like this while people starve to death, in public or in secret.

    I am not surprised. Elon is an accelerationist who believes that the next social turmoil will definitely be coming. But since it is going to happen, he thinks it is better if it comes sooner rather than later.

    So this guy has time to be CEO of twitter, spacex, xai, starlink, tesla, boring company, head of DOGE and still has time to try to hook up with thousands of girls online? Something tells me CEOs are pretty useless if you can be running that many companies each week.

        Apparently Elmo was intersex at birth and the surgery to try and affirm male gender left whatever junk he had quite inoperable. At least people are saying this is the case.

      Don’t forget he also doubled down on being in the top10 of PoE2 (which is ruled by nolife players that play 16 hours a day) yet he had the time to do that, I can’t understand why anyone would ever trust a word coming out of his mouth ever. Pathological liar with a massive ego, hopefully the target of the next Luigi

        Source on that? I’ll believe you but I’d love to read up on that.

        Also, he can do all that and more because he’s a drug riddled junkie. Won’t be long now till he overdoses

    This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election

    Someone should totally try to catfish him, though. Sounds like it wouldn’t be all that challenging

      This… might just be the craziest thing I’ve read since the election

      We so far have:

      1. Trump turning the White House in a Tesla dealership
      2. Trump putting tarrifs on penguins, but not on Russia
      3. US warplans leaked because someone doesn’t know how to use his phone
      4. The US becoming a crypto bro.
      5. The US looking to invade Canada, Mexico, Panama, and Greenland while also looking to extort the rest of the fucking planet.
      6. The US stealing the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico.

      Just to name a few. We are only 4 months into his term people. I’d say Elon humping everything that moves is just a regular tuesday.

      It’s easy to forget just how much money a billion dollars is, let alone hundreds of billions.

      You could hire three hundred people at a very generous salary of $250k/year. 8 hour shifts, that gives you 100 people guarding you 24/7. That would $75 million/year. You could do that off the investment income from a single billion dollars. Pay them the salary more typical of a security guard, like $50k/year, and Musk could be surrounding 24/7 by one hundred thousand security guards, and it would cost him $15 billion/year. He has enough wealth to afford that if he really wanted to. The man could take a cue from ancient Rome and commission his own army if he wanted to.

      We need to eliminate billionaires. No one should have this type of power.

        He also wouldn’t even pay that and syphon money from his companies as business expense either way.
