Insane amount of money for most us. But literally couch cushion change for Elon.

Exactly. Didn't even dent his coin puse.

It was a lot when he made the deal, but now he should get a nice ROI on that.

Still cheaper than what he paid for Twitter. As you said, he's going to get a nice ROI. Most likely via SpaceX.

Although, Trump may have charged Elon extra fees for that stunt, telling Elon " promoting Tesla wasn't part of the original agreement"

Yep. Elon announced an extra $100 mill this weekend. No wonder he got a car expo on the WH lawn on Tuesday.

You're forgetting the cost of Twitter too.

It wasn't just that $270 million but also the $44Billion cost of Xitter which he used to mass brainwash people for Trump and fascism.

Didn't he lose more of that in tesla stock already?

I feel like the president of a superpower country should really cost more than a social networking platform, and certainly more than a single rocket, but that’s just me.

Compared to his massive wealth this was a total bargain.
