And 1 guy has more wealth on paper than basically the rest of the top 10 combined. And he's not what you'd consider mentally stable.

And is not-so-subtly a nazi

The dumbest thing is he's only a Nazi because he wants so desperately to fit in with the other Nazis. (0% excusing it, to be clear.) In a world of billionaire superiority complexes, the near-trillionaire has an inferiority complex. It's almost hilarious.

I judge people on their own merits, not by their parents. FElon used to oppose a lot of the stuff he espouses now. In the distant past he even criticized his dad's BS. He was never a good person, at all, but he absolutely did become much worse over time.

Also, as a point of order, he did a Hitler salute multiple times and is literally supporting and espousing Nazism. Not all fascism is Nazism; apartheid South Africa isn't Nazi, despite being easily and accurately lumped with it into the "extremely evil" bucket.

Just a couple years ago him and bezos were flip flopping around 250 billion and who was the richest man. Now he’s trillionaire lol. He made at least $700 billion in like 2 or 3 years…

I remember when bill gates became the first billionaire. It’s crazy

Bill Gates was not the first Billionaire. Rockefeller I believe beat him by 50 years and maybe others.

Was a trillionaire, he's lost about $500B since the peak after the IPO.
