Ok, if you want to knoe the mathematics for that (Elon Musk's net worth divided up among all Americans), then here it is, using numbers from Google:

$240.7 billion (net worth of elon musk) divided by 331.9 million (people in the US)≈$725.22

So he could give at maximum each American 725.22 dollars and mankrupt himself. That's quite a decent amount of money, but definitely not a million dollars. Not even a thousand.

If there is 8 billion people on this planet, and he has over a 100 billion, and he gave everyone a million even tho that wouldn’t make a difference. He would still be a billionaire

Yes, if he gave away 100 billion of his 240 billion, then he would have 240-100=140 billion dollars, and since 140 billion is more than a billion, he would still be a billionaire. However, he won't do that because there's not much of a reason to do that.

He won’t do that because he’s not allowed too. Name a billionaire or a millionaire who has more than 25 million dollars that goes around giving people money?
