Elon Musk trolls Jeff Bezos as he widens his lead as the richest person on Earth

Elon Musk's personal wealth is now $222 billion, widening his gap as the richest person in the world according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Musk's personal wealth skyrocketed an extra $10.6 billion after a secondary share sale by investors, announced last week, valued the space company over $100 billion, CNBC reported.

Okay, why is Musk worth so much? Bezos I can understand given how huge Amazon is? But what has Musk done that’s anywhere close to that in scale?

    Amazon is worth more than twice as much as Tesla (the relevant stat is market cap), but Bezos owns 10% of Amazon, and Musk owns 22% of Tesla. Their net worth also includes other random shit they own.

    (Also Tesla being worth even half as much as Amazon is fucking hilarious. Amazon has about 40 data centers, 400 fulfilment centers, and the labor of 1.3 million workers. Tesla has 10 factories that make shitty luxury sportscars.)
