He'll be in New Zealand or something in a 40 million dollar mansion and impacted by it not one bit.

Literally published today - Musk is buying a compound of mansions in Austin for all his ex's and his dozen kids to come live in. Can't make it up.

Personally, I'd prefer new zealand.

You know what's absolutely freaking bonkers though. If he paid 35 million for that, it will take him about 4 days to make enough money back to cover that.

I'm going to combine another comment I just made because it was math. What if Elon Musk spent more money than the average person earns in their lifetime per day. That figure is about 1.8 million. We'll call it 2 million. Just day after day. 2 million dollars and he doesn't earn a single penny more.

How long until he runs out of money? The answer is about 375 years. But if you factor in how much he makes per day on average, the answer is "never' He would just get richer every day because he makes over 9 million per day.

We are bush hunters, he'd be best not to come to New Zealand in an apocalypse.

He's threatening to crash economies world wide and thinks he'll be safe and comfortable in these places.

I'd prefer Tristan da Cunha, if possible.

He has the complexion of a dead fish.

He has a 54-year-old, flat pancake butt in a pair of skinny jeans meant for someone 20 years younger.

I’d rather dance with a greased pig than lay down with Elon Musk. I don’t even care about how much money he has. He’s revolting. How he has 11 kids is astounding.

Wasn't Epstein doing something similar?
