    Anyone know how this is being accounted for?

    Which of his assets gained him like 200+billion in the last year?

    I know twitter lost value after he financed it through the saudis, so he must have gained somewhere else, anyone want to save me a Google?

        So if I own a single dollar and tell everyone it’s a trillion worth … does that make me rich or am I a fool?

          a fool, until someone believes you.

          A fool unless you can convince an entire market that it’s a trillion dollars worth.

          No, it has to be something more imaginary than a dollar, and someone else has to actually give you a dollar for it while you claim it’s only one trillionth of the amount of imaginary things you could sell to people.

          Note a while ago a youtuber did a stunt to illustrate: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8SYIksrZeu4
