ELON MUSK IS THE WORLD’S FIRST TRILLIONAIRE

 





 

Let's get a perspective of what the number one trillion looks like.






Let's say you have a machine that could spit out a one-dollar bill every second; it would take you 17 minutes to acquire 1 thousand dollars:


It would take 12 days to acquire 1 million dollars.

32 years to reach 1 billion dollars;

And 32,000 years before you received one trillion dollars.


And the weight of one trillion dollar bills would be one million metric tons.

 

From Earth to Mars is 34 million miles

The population of the US is 350 million

The age of the Earth is 4.5 billion years old

The population of the Earth is 8.3 billion

 

The 2026 military defense funding is approximately 1 trillion.


And Elon Musk's wealth surpasses $ 1 trillion.





The richest 1% of the US population holds over 30% of the total wealth. The financially lower 50% of the population hold less then 4%. 


from the bottom 4%

BIG NUMBERS

 




 

The news, and the government, throw around the numbers billion and trillion as if they are talking about the cost of a new car: a two-trillion-dollar tax cut, a three trillion-dollar infrastructure plan, a two trillion-dollar covid relief package.

 

Compared to this, the world population of seven-billion doesn’t sound like so much.   And a million is chump chance to many people; the Jaguar C-X75 automobile cost $1.1 million.

 

Let’s put this in perspective:


If you took a stick and banged it on your kitchen table once-per-second, twenty-four hours a day non-stop; it would take you twelve days to bang out a million.


 

Banging out a billion would take you thirty-two years, and to bang out the population of the earth (seven-billion) would take two-hundred and twenty-four years.)




 

It would take thirty-two thousand years (32,000) to bang out one trillion, and that very likely exceeds way past the sell-by date our earth.
