Elon Musk's Wealth Compared To Everything | Data On Data

Elon Musk is currently the second richest person in the world. Between April 2020 and April 2021 Elon Musk made $383m per day on average. We took those numbers and compared them to everything from McDonald's to Kazakhstan in order to put his obscene wealth into context.

So to get a better understanding of this graph it really helps to know what this worth actually is. Musk’s wealth is made up mostly of the stocks he owns, the majority of them in Tesla. In fact if you draw a graph of Tesla’s stock over the top of his wealth you can see it’s almost exactly the same.

Elon Musk's Wealth Compared To Everything | Data On Data

His estimated wealth depends on what he decides to tweet that day.

[FisayoFosudo]

I love how graphs were used in this video. I did not even blink 🤯

[dhruv]

Elon is such a down to mars guy, very humble.

[jsbossler]

Loved the manually operated charts - the clear sleeves allow me to focus and understand one chart, then register its relationship to the next one that landed on top 👍🏻

[PinkyGhost]

What you should have mentioned in the video is that his wealth is not how much money he has to spend. When his wealth grows by 35bil its not like he can go out and buy football teams with it without damaging the companies that he created

[sleepingiv]

The presenting style is awesome and excellent😀

[tornadochaser]

4:30 no. Military budget is not the value of everything in that military. It’s how much they spend on their military (including research, maintenance, and salaries). Elon couldn’t get anywhere near the *value* of even very small militaries

It’s so weird thinking we are going to run out of phone batteries before running out of petroleum

[spicklemickle]

I'm not too sure about the relationships made between the two graphs at the end though - the huge increase in taxes in the 1940s weren't because of the top 1% and bottom 50% wealth but clearly because they needed taxes to fund the war.

One problem when talking about modern day billionaires: how much money they actually have is different from how much they're worth. The video briefly touched on this. While his net worth is over 100 billion he might only have a couple thousand dollars. He would need to sell all his shares to have the money to buy all this stuff. So how do you tax that? Do you take his stock away from him? Force him to sell stocks in order to pay taxes? What if the value of the stock drops? Not saying that it's okay that so many people have so much wealth but it's just something to think about. Taxing someone on the stocks they own would be like taxing someone on the gold they own. It only really makes sense at the point of transaction, or when they sell the thing that their wealth is stored in. At least to me.

as a person from Kazakhstan, a man being richer than your entire country is slightly frightening but puts it into perspective pretty well

[maxjohnson]

Why do people compare net worth to GDP of countries like not even comparing the same thing. You could compare his income to GDP but that wouldn’t be such a dramatic effect

[felixpeel]

Increasing income taxes won’t affect his or most billionaires wealth as he pointed out their wealth is based on unrealised gains in their stock portfolios.

[samlee]

The amount of organization put into this video is staggering. Major props to the producers

[MapleXD]

the way he draws the line at 4:50 is how some people actually explain crypto to their friends lmao

[dot.]

When you realize Elon Musk can buy Greece: Panik
But Greece can't get any worse: Kalm

[sumitmidya]

I love the way the video was presented (Graphs) pls make more videos like these❤️

[emeraldaxx]

Boring Company and Spacex: allow us to introduce ourselves

[NerdRapper]

I would love to see an entire YouTube channel dedicated to these specific graph videos. This was very interesting and informative.

Just to clarify, we will never run out of lithium, it might just be hard to get, but it's #3 on the periodic table and extremely common.
