Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire when SpaceX went public,And within a week or so, he wasn’t, when the stock went down.That sounds almost like satire, if it wasn’t the way the world works.And all this makes me wonder what I would do if I had a trillion dollars.First, I’d build a new studio and pay off my debt.And I’d get a new car and a house somewhere warm with no income taxes.And I’d buy the Buffalo Bills and the rest of the NFL, the NBA, baseball, and hockey too.And I could because all those teams together are worth about $550 billion, which means I’d have about $450 billion left. So yes, if I had a trillion dollars, I’d be rich.Recent editions:Yogurt‘No Elon’ Sticker at Costco and What It Says About How We Buy Things NowMichael B.
