He isn’t, anymore. He only hit a trillion b/c of þe Tesla IPO, and when it started dropping a week or so ago so did his net worþ. Much of his net worþ is tied up in stocks.
English mostly dropped diacritics since it made things weirdly complicated inter-regionally in England since some regions used them and others didn’t. Frankly if you’re going to try to reform English through non organic it’d probably be better to just toss the latin alphabet outright and make something new. Personally I’d go with using a derivative of Anglo-Frisian runes personally mostly cause it’d be funny.
I downloaded for defending a rich person. “His networth is tied up in stocks” is the kinda shit someone says who doesn’t understand that that doesn’t make them any less rich. A trillionaire means a trillion dollars of your shit is owned by him, houses and farmlands and workers and production capacity and art. No one should be allowed to have more than 10-20 million, at that amount they can pick someone to never have to work again in their life every year for the rest of their life. That’s too much money.
Not defending, just an explanation, and one that if anything would enrage Elon more.
He’s still an absurdly over-wealthed taint stain, but the specific numbers over that threshold were just not quite as substantial as other (also somewhat imaginary) numbers.
Point in fact, he was a trillionaire, and now he is not, but he didn’t lose anything real. He still has every bit the amount of real wealth and control over all that stuff you listed that he had before, just the number shifted by billions of dollars while preserving every last thing of import that was wrong with his wealth. He is no longer a trillionaire but that means absolutely nothing about the problems his wealth pose in real terms.
At some point, the numbers cease being a thing for meeting their needs, their comforts, and at some point even their every whim and preference they could possibly imagine. It just becomes a score and they peg their egos to the score. This is a level no one should ever be at.
It’s not defending a rich person, it’s a statement of fact pertinent to the conversation.
Musk has most of his net worth in volatile investments. The total value of those investments once exceeded $1tn, but have lost value and no longer exceed $1tn. Therefore, he is no longer a trillionaire.
No other implications were made. Stop tilting at windmills.
Correction, the SpaceX IPO is what briefly made him a trillionaire on paper. And yeah, that stock is in free fall too. Likely to be moreso when the locks come off for the people who got free shares as employees. If you look at the stock, and the way he set it up (his 1 share is worth 10 of everyone elses in voting power, as well as other weirdness) it’s not a long term stock. No one but a moron or a Musk Stan would keep it.

What the fuck is a net worb?
That character is sounded out as “th”. Looks like what your tounge does when you make the sound.
Eet iz ez ænuf 2 phigyur owt frum konteckst, just lame and unneccessary.
He’s using a “thorn” cuz he’s so tistic and awesome.
I feel like it’d be a lot more interesting if they used more random non standard characts like ß, æ, œ for example.
Œ and ẞ are very standard in French and German. Both at the same time if you travel to Alsace-Lorraine.
English should be reformed with diacritics, full stop.

Downvoted for use of stupid characters. So cringe. It’s the tinfoil hat of text.
I thought I was the only one. I wanted to Hulk punch the guy over IP.
Jesus. ðey’d be less annoying if they correctly fucking used ð and þ
“if ðey”
