He wasn't a billionaire. I know it's easy to just pretend that every CEO is Elon Musk, but in billions he was worth $0.04B. Elon Musk is on track to be worth 100,000x that.
If you think he was an Oligarch, you're already doomed, because you don't know who your real enemies are.
It's honestly the same shit when you factor in the fact that most people are either in poverty or extremely close to it with a lot of those because of this dudes leadership.
You can make it look small by doing the .04B, you're also missing his .02B (20M if you wanna do regular people numbers) in stock options, but that's still an absolute fuck ton of money, and mixed with his decisions to willing fuck so many people over, I know he wasn't a friend.
We're only talking about publicly disclosed money here too.
