He also lost nearly a trillion dollars for Tesla. Tells the Tesla employees to keep their stock, hinting at how great things are and how much better they will be soon, and then the entire c-suite sells off around a hundred million in stock…
Elmo really is the best of all humans… At evaporating the wealth of others
I’ve said this for nearly s decade now, Elmo is a lyoni scammer who got lucky, that is all
“He got lucky” is another way to also say that, as terrible as he is at everything he does, including hiding it, the people who give him literally anything are always clamouring to prove just how stupid they can be by simping for him at every turn.
That too.
The guy is (well, was) charming, in his weird ways, and he really does have a quality to somehow convince people of all the lies he’s spouting.
Beyond that, he also got incredibly lucky
Why would you say “half” when you could say “500”?
500 Billion Dollars.
Doesn’t half a trillion sound like more than 500 billion? Even though 500 billion is already a lot?
No, “half” sounds like half. 500 of something sounds like more than half of something. (Yes, trillion > billion, we’re not debating the actual facts - which are the same either way - just the way it’s perceived in a headline)
Half of dinners. 500 meals. Half a car. 500 auto parts. Half of all dealerships. 500 independent dealers. etc.
none of your examples make sense. “trillion” has more gravity than “billion” in headlines. simple as that.
Wrong.

4 years of months left to go.
Maybe next time people can get off their fat fucking asses and vote. Or, if you did vote, maybe vote more intelligently next go around.
