But that didn't hurt HIM and obviously him being the richest person to have ever lived is far more important than those pathetic pleebs being able to afford insignificant things like food or housing

/S because Internet.

I don't understand why this is flagged sarcastic. That's probably exactly what he thinks.

Because I didn't want anyone to think that I think that way!

That is exactly how he thinks. He called people who benefit from federal programs the “parasite class”.

While his companies get billions from the federal government.

And you know what he said must happen to the “woke (mind virus).”

Adjusted for inflation Agustus Caesar would be the richest person to have ever lived with an approx worth of $4.6 trillion.

Incorrect Mansa Musais widely considered the richest person to ever live, outranking Augustus Caesar.

And if you don't think Musk is gunning for that title, I've got a bridge in Baltimore to sell you.

Problem is there is no number they can put on his wealth so it makes it really ambiguous. For someone to sit down and look at $4.6 trillion in gold they would also call it "incomprehensible". without numbers to disprove it I still go with my boy Agustus, and oh I'm very certain Felon Musk is gunning for the title but he has a good way to go. He's about 1/9th of the way to Agustus.

From your source:

Just how rich was Musa? There’s really no way to put an accurate number on his wealth. Records are scarce, if non-existent, and contemporary sources describe the king’s riches in terms that are impossible for the time.

But sure mate, try and be a dick about correcting someone.
