    Just think about how much happiness you’d get from:

    • Completely solving world hunger, single-handedly.

    • Massive vaccine roll-outs to eradicate or nearly eradicate some of the worst diseases.

    • Giving every single homeless person in the US a free house to live in.

    • So much hookers and blow.

    And after all that, you’d still be a billionaire. Just getting started.

        I think about this all the time. If he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world and ended world hunger, I wouldn’t even bat an eye if he also wanted to start a weird sex cult (with consenting adults). Chute dude, i’d probably sign up to incubate one of his sons.

          Tbf if he just built electrified trains everywhere in the world, he’d run out of money before finishing a single continent.

          Think about it: He doesn’t have a trillion dollars (or even a few hundred billions) in liquid cash. It’s all in the perceived value of Tesla, which is about 30x overvalued (price/earnings being around 300, 10 is considered a normal healthy value). The more electrified trains everywhere, the fewer cars needed.

      Solving world hunger would get you an endless parade of pussy.

      You wouldn’t need hookers.

      Dude could be universally loved and become a living saint if he spent his money for good. Instead he’ll just be remembered as just another greedy pathetic rich asshole.

      You think anyone would feel any happiness for that if they are already a trillionare? he probably would be more worried about wasting his money.

      If those people cared at all they would at least donate 1% of their income and donate more percentage as they get more money.

      He cant solve world hunger, money isnt the problem, and liquidating the stocks to do that would wipe out the value of what his stocks are worth leaving not enough money anyway.

      Its an incredibly complex problem.

      He could likely do something about it in specific isolated western countries though.

      Thinking hookers are connected to happiness says no good things about you as a person, and I in no way mean that as a negative to sex workers.
