Kind of funny since his companies don't really make a profit. It's all branding.

You'd think Amazon would be profitable like in 2008 or 2009.

Most new businesses don't reach the point of being profitable for 5-10 years. Starting a business has a ton of front-end costs, and business is usually slow for the first couple years even for a high-quality place.

It's even funnier when you consider that people had been making a big deal of his net worth for years when, at that same time, he was forced to take personal loans to avoid liquidating at least parts of his companies >_>

And, given the nature of his companies, I'm not entirely sure when/if he decides to exit how much money he'll actually be able to get. Granted, Elon Musk is the kind of guy I can't imagine ever exiting their business -- although the same is true of most self-made billionaires. They get rich partly because they have a passion that others can't understand. This was a guy who talked about the importance of an 80-hour work week.

I still have no idea what Musk has done for the world.
Bezos might be a fuck, but at lest he has done more for the common good in the past 20 years than basically anyone else. Fuck Twitch tho.

The other thing people tend to miss when a company is growing but isn't "profitable," it's generally just because they're reinvesting their profits instead of taking the profits. This helps them to grow more rapidly.

He's spearheaded the electric car movement, which in theory lessens fossil fuel use. I thought you believed in global warming, so you'd be the first to praise stuff like that? Otherwise he's been involved in a lot of technological advancements and he's involved in a LOT of cutting edge stuff. It's pretty much why he's been called a real world Tony Stark.

Kinda feels apples and oranges. More importantly, is the 12 years based just on when they went public?

That I find a little surprising considering their structures.

Hes good at finding ways to do expensive things cheaper.

Electric cars and rocketry have both had breakthroughs in recent years thanks to his companies focusing primarily on making each more cost effective which has revitalized industries that had been struggling for years.

You forgot your shitty meme. Instead you just have the lack of an actual argument.

Pretty baller anti-meme.

Considering that David Koch has been dead a few years now and the other is on the way out, the fears are even sillier.

I'll give you that. They donated to both political parties. I'm referring more to the billionaires that operate in the public eye more than the behind the scenes guys like that
