This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

While you're absolutely correct, even if Musk lost 99.7% percent of his wealth he would still be a billionaire (depending on whose net worth number you choose to use). I wouldn't hold out seeing him in a bread line or starting a gofundme.
huh. showerthought:
broke: gofundme woke: sell shares/stocks bespoke: have your company subsidized by the state
The real question is whether the collapse of his house of cards will lead to a 99.7% loss of wealth or >100% loss. He won't be a billionaire anymore if it's the latter.
He could declare bankruptcy and be a billionaire again tomorrow.
And I don't say this out of any kind of admiration for him; just there's still enough moneyed rubes out there that he could set up a new company making plumbuses and it would hit unicorn status by the end of the day.
Yeah, he probably will. I know I'd be surprised if he didn't have money squirreled away somewhere.
