Fun story about scale: My son is visiting Prague while studying abroad this summer. Apparently, he stepped into a Rolex store and was amazed by the expensive watches. He asked "Who buys a $100k watch?" Then, he answered himself, "I guess Elon Musk."
I said, that watch has virtually no value to someone who is worth $1 Trillion dollars.
We did the math to determine the comparative value of a $100K watch to a person who is worth $1Million compared to a person who is worth $1 Trillion. The answer: Ten Cents.
Elon could give that watch out to guests as a party favor. A cheap party favor.
It's mind boggling how much $1 Trillion is. People do not get it.
That kind of concentration of wealth.... that kind of buying power... is truly insane.
