Bitch, you came from an emerald mine, walkin’ the streets with gems in your pockets. Shut the fuck up.
He’s rapidly headed back to that income level.
I get that it’s nice to imagine, but no, he really fucking isn’t, and not just because he never was on that income level, but because he is so obscenely rich, that even if all his current ventures fail spectacularly, he has enough to fall back on a few million times over.
You assume he’d act rationally and invest in even more ridiculous wasted of money…
He’s not smart enough to keep a backup, because even if it’s just a million, he’ll think he can turn it into a billion.
As rich as he is, he’ll live another 40 years. More than enough time to burn all his money. Don’t forget everything is leveraged against each other, his money is built on stock prices, and he’s picking a fight with Brazil while using a shit ton of drugs
If Space X loses it’s governments contracts, literally everything would go up in smoke and he’d desperately try to make what he lost back.
A deat spiral isn’t implausible
SpaceX has enough of a lead over everyone else that I don’t think them simply being denied government contracts is feasible, in a too-big-to-fail way.
You’d see some kind of forced nationalisation or being strongarmed into selling to another defense contractor on national security grounds.
Elmo might choose some kind of “if I can’t have it, no one can” sabotage though.
Lol, ok.
Like I said, I get that it’s nice to imagine, but the only person you’re convincing (more like fooling) is yourself, if you seriously believe he will ever end up anywhere even remotely near poor.
As long as you aren’t sleeping in your bed when the police get the wrong address, or sleeping in an encampment when the police decide to steal all your belongings for living while poor, or kicked out of the library for not having access to a bathroom, or finding yourself in a grocer, mall, concert hall, theatre, school, etc on a day a shooter decides to show up.
Also you can’t survive on $1 per day without someone caring for you. That will not keep you off the streets and fed, and it will most definitely not cover fees for access to self improvement resources or recovery.
Grade A delusional thinking.
I recall that even being rich his “friends” complain he wants to sleep on their couch and eat their food.
