    Bezos could lose 1 billion dollars every week for the next three years and still be worth 50 billion dollars, give or take a couple billion. He has 122,000 lifetimes worth of money (based on the median lifetime earnings of an American being 1.7 million). And he has 130 billion dollars less than Musk.

    They’ll make it all back and then some. This is all part of the plan.

    1. Tank the economy.
    2. Watch investment prices fall.
    3. Watch interest rates fall (to “stimulate the economy”)
    4. Borrow money with cheap interest rates.
    5. Buy cheap investments with borrowed money.
    6. Watch economy recover.
    7. Profit.
    8. Repeat.

      Or they are just acknowledging that by licking boots, they can have an actual fiefdom instead of just a virtual one.

      And this was the price of coronation.

    I hope they’re pissed. If they lose money, that’s the only way dingle dorf will be stopped. That is, if they aren’t treated like Russian oligarchs first by trump.
