pity it's like "who's line is it anyway?" - the points are meaningless and really don't matter
First, we money is a delusion we all agree to share - it has no intrinsic value whatsoever
Second, stock is an even more-removed delusion based on what people _think_ a company might be worth to buy - a value that changes at the drop of a hat (look at the recent massive dips, eg nvidia)
Third, and this is probably the real bummer - all this delusion is just going to make Smelly Tusk even more insufferable. Yay.

We agreed to its value, and it can be spent and in your limited life span it translates to a drastically different life experience. So, fake money is still money. Not making any judgements on the topic, but waving this truth away doesn’t work.

If this makes Elon a trillionaire then he's not the first. All those NFT bros listing their stickers for trillions each have him beat by orders of magnitudes.

Good, I hope he spends it all on big fucking rockets, fast cars and space cities.. but I am sure the usual haters will find some reasons why we should all be angry..
