Ugh... it drives me nuts!
Had he spent that ~~$57~~ $44 billion on developing space hardware instead of going insane and squandering it on social media bullshit, he might have done something worthwhile. I mean... fifty seven billion! What even is that much money? He could have had his own space station for that much money! He could fly up there for weekends, just for funzies.
That $13 billion is part of the $44 billion, you don't add them together.
He spent $31 billion of his own capital, and borrowed $13 billion to cover the rest.
Oh great, I added all the numbers in your comment together and now it's $101 billion?? When will this madness end???
With all that money, he could have given every person in the world $12.625 billion!!! It's unfathomable!
maybe you couldn't fathom it, but I'm built different
You've bamboozled my attempt to make the same joke at your expense by only mentioning one number in your comment, giving me nothing to add to it. From this point on, I conclude we should only ever mention one number in each comment, for clarity.
