    When no-one was looking, Elon Musk lost forty billion. He lost 40 billion. That’s as many as four tens billions. And that’s terrible.

      I never would have guessed that Musk is a billion times worse than Lex Luthor, but the math is right there. Terrible.

      Terrible for him. Great for everyone else that that 40 billion is now in the hands of other people. 

      It’s also ironic, that he is single-handedly the greatest redistributor of his own wealth.

        Terrible for him

        Not really, and that’s the obscene part. Literally absolutely nothing changed about his standard of living by losing $40B.
        He could have solved world hunger for years with that money, and wouldn’t even have had to give anything up for it.

        40 billion going into the bank accounts of investors that previously owned Twitter stock certainly is a redistribution of wealth, but I doubt it’s the kind you’re referring to.
