The graph was produced in R (ggplot2) using 1.2 million daily net worth observations from Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaire wealth tracker for 1,022 U.S. billionaires between Feb. 15, 2020 and Jan. 19, 2025.
nothing worrying at all, everything is cool…
I dont get it… why dont bezos and zuck also just spend 200M to increase their net worth by 200B? Easy money
The problem is that for some companies the stock market has become totally divorced from expected earnings. Musk’s companies have a tiny net-profit in comparison to what they’re worth. It’s all basically a speculative bubble fuelled by Musk’s influence. I’m not saying it will pop anytime soon, but it’s crazy how divorced from reality the valuation of his assets has become.
and still so insecure he had to cheat in path of exile… astounding..
From my evaluation, they are not worth anything
Musk has made more money ripping off the US government than anyone in history. Tesla would have had to declared bankruptcy many times were not for the ridiculous amount of government subsidies and handouts they’ve gotten.
The unstoppable rise of the ruling class.
This would probably work better as a log chart
This partially happens once bribery is legalized. Due to various factors, limits on campaign finance that kept multiple voices in your congressman’s ear even if you were a lazy sod-these all went away because of a campaign to appoint Republican federal (mainly SC but ct of appeals and trial also) judges willing to dismantle campaign restrictions like Clearance Thomas-who, fun fact, takes actual public bribes to the cheers of Republicans. Democrats never use supermajority to try to make it all illegal again so some blame for them also. Yeah yeah, it’s hard to change policy by voter activism. And it wasn’t harder in the 1907-1942 era? Anyhoo.
Sooner or later, if you have the advantages wealth already gives you, your fortune will grow but especially if you and your class are the only people allowed to speak to congressmen and state legislators privately and can fund them beyond imagination with a small fraction of your fortune. The peons disappear completely. The 2nd and 3rd place lobbies who werent rich but had a more level playing field with contribution limits cease to have influence and now ONE voice controls the law in an entire area. This was America by 2003. Wtf did you people think was gonna happen? Still, when I lobby for campaign finance reform, congress staffs can assure me I do it nearly alone in my state and that is common nationwide. American voters are into utter abject surrender to bad guys buying the law like it is a fetish. And if they arent, there is no evidence of their wishes where it matters.
Trump wants in: go buy his bs crypto!!1!
Sad how we let ourselves dominate by rich people and then blame poorer people for our problems.
I guess that Twitter purchase wasn’t so stupid after all.
So this is the best time to become a billionaire
The ultimate memcoin is Tesla stock. What a joke
Slow and steady work (read: other people’s work) vs the volatility of manipulation?
Now do Trump’s net worth starting from 2010
The no1 issue facing Americans is the absolutely obscene wealth disparity. Yet for some reason, voting a corrupt millionaire bank rolled by billionaires seemed like a solution.
Stop uing their products and you can control their wealth. It’s very easy but people want the convenience of amazon. The allure of tesla. And the brain numbing addiction of Facebook amd instagram
If ever in history where people can reverse these three billionaires antics it’s now. It can be done so easily.
This is a good point to rewatch Tom Scott’s driving a Billion dollars to visualize the difference between a million and a billion [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YUWDrLazCg)
Why isn’t Bill Gates and other Billionaires represented? Trump is irrelevant in that regard… Not really beautiful.
This is just self reported wealth from rich people that want the world to know how much they have.
Most people do not have this wish, hence why only 3 people are here.
Just wait till OP finds out about The Rothschild estimated $5 Trillion Commercial Real estate portfolio.
Musk’s wealth is like a crypto currency value graph.
Where is the Catholic Church in this?
What happened 2023? Covid recovery?
Divest Tesla stock. Petition the funds you invest in to divest.
Once institutional investors divest Tesla, we’ll see his net worth drop like a rock.
