          The only problem is that with your merger $200,000 job you’d have to work for 5,000 years at that wage without spending a single penny before you’d reach even one billion dollars. To be e billionaire now would make your start date 3000 BC which would be around the time the Sumeruan writing system was first used.

          • Now, it gets worse. If you want to make Elons 46 billion dollar package you’d have to start working your full time $200,000 job 230,000 years ago. This would be the prehistoric stone age so finding a $200,000 a year job would be difficult. Even more difficult would be staying alive while working full time for 230,000 years while you earn the amount Elon wants handed to him.

          • I think the reason people think having a billion dollars is OK is because they can’t do math and don’t understand the ludicrously in that amount of money.

          That’s like the average salary in IT, why bother? I wouldn’t even think about becoming a CEO of a company like Tesla without a package worth hundreds of millions.

      I am guessing you could hire several hundred CEOs collectively for that price. And they would not be splitting their time between five companies. Robyn clearly had their nose so far up Musk’s ass that it is difficult to figure out where one ends and the other begins.
