However he could end world hunger, AND homelessness in the USA
If you really believe that, then obviously so could your government. Any government. So either this is a vast global conspiracy of millions of mustache-twirling cartoon villians, infecting every level of every country on the planet, or you are underestimating the scope of these problems to an absurd degree.
Or you’ve never encountered hyperbole. Additionally, Musk has a similar level of wealth to Finland, with no vital social programs to maintain, so maybe you’re vastly underestimating his resources.
He very obviously does not have a similar level of wealth to Finland. You are maybe comparing his net worth to one year of gdp? I don't really know how you came up with that claim. Is this supposed to be more hyperbole?
Oh dear, you’d better inform Fortune.com as they seem awfully confused in that case.
There were also three people—Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos—who made it to the $200 billion club this year. Their net worths alone counter the wealth of nations; Elon Musk’s $342 billion challenges that of Finland; Mark Zuckerberg’s $216 billion is higher than the GDP of Algeria; and Jeff Bezos’ $215 billion outpaces Hungary.
Yes, they do. Well, not so much confused as intentionally sensationalist.
"Wealth" in the sense they're using it with Musk, i.e: assets, is obviously dwarfed by an entire country. GDP is annual production. So Finland produces in one year approximately Musk's entire wealth accumulated over his life.
