I’m not kidding, people on this board are pretty knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. I actually learn stuff on here about current events, books, movies, music and history. Thanks all!
Hey '89

"Elon Reeve Musk is a South African–born American entrepreneur and business magnate who founded SpaceX, leads Tesla, and owns X (formerly Twitter) and xAI. A co‑founder of PayPal, Neuralink, and The Boring Company, he has driven advances in reusable rockets, electric vehicles, AI, and tunneling. The world’s richest person since 2025, Musk is known for bold innovation, ambitious timelines, and polarizing public statements."

Age: 54 years (Jun 28, 1971)

Musk has a net worth of $814 billion
To better understand the enormity of money this expresses, (forget about inflation)
I’ve offered a humble perspective of the Musk wealth:

It would take a person earning... $1.1 million per day since AD 1, "in the year of the Lord" to equal Musk's wealth.

In other words, if you earned $1.1 million per day, every day for the last 2,026 years you would match Musk’s wealth.

In the meantime:

"Bill Gates has a significant partnership with USAID, having collaborated on various global health and development initiatives for over 25 years. He has publicly defended USAID's role, warning that cuts to its funding will lead to millions of deaths globally. Gates has expressed concerns about the potential loss of influence and funding for his philanthropic efforts, indicating that he views USAID as an essential asset in global health and development efforts."
