They're a big family though, none of which have more than Musk INDIVIDUALLY.
You'd be right about Putin and other despots with de facto one person ownership of entire countries worth of wealth and resources, though.
Yes if you think what they report officially is correct. Most everyone is aware they only report a small fraction of their wealth. Musk is by far not the first trillionair, he is the first one publicly.
Evidently not true if you have to insist on it being true.
Most != All
Ah yes, I'm just part of that small, stupid minority. Gotcha.
I mean you said it, not me. They are like the most infamous for hiding their wealth. Maybe them and Major CPC party members are another. Of course characters like Putin and Kim (and associated upper brass) also hide the vast majority of their wealth. Like it kinda goes without saying, they have no reason to tell anyone and there is zero benefits in telling anyone.
The weird guy who always hangs at my local train station once told me he's a trillionaire. Now you're telling me it might be true???
Maybe he was slurring 'train engineer'.
