You are still a chief custodian of that same curse because you are an Africa who can't make any impact for the same Africa than talking and complaining. Instead of complaining, bend down and work. Stop pointing fingers for other to do what you can't do yourself to change history of Africa. Don't expect anyone to do for you what you can't do for yourself. Show us the impact you and your family have made that affect Africa positively other than complaining and accusing leaders.

No one gives complainer an award. If you can not be parts of those who make that changes you are asking for to happen to Africa, you are not qualify to point fingers. You and I should bend down to make that positive changes happen for glory of Africa. Don't expect other Africans to be working for you while you come online to point fingers. Be part of the changes providers for Africa and not complainants

absolute gibberish you wrote. A tree can't make a forest because we all know sycophants who loves bad leaders. You and I cant make change in Africa political dynamics. So explain why none African leaders get medical care in their countries after budgets been allocated to health.

he actually has a point
look at how quickly zoom lost value between 2020 and 2024
valuation metrics though not totally rubbish, need some tweaking here and there

Valuing a business at billions of dollars when they are burning cash quarter after quarter with no profits, be it gross or net to me does not feel right

If the business finally "shows workings" are now Cash flow profit plus positive /fat net profit, then we can understand

long story short
let's be open minded

It's based on the stock market capitalization, not revenue.

Interesting. Musk is into alot of business.

Ideally no man should attain the trillionaire status but for the continued printing of money by nations especially usa its very possible and they tag it govt debt.

Musk is not hitting 300 billion instead he'll plummet. He'll run twitter aground. Tesla is struggling although - would have been destroyed if he was given more hand than he currently has. Space X has some good potentials but it's already at its height. He's a very good salesman but most of the world has seen him for what he is and it's going to affect him

Meanwhile, the idiotic men of dog we have littered all over Nigeria like "nuisance" are tying prosperity to tithe, offering and seed payment. If God truly exist, you shall all be disgraced.!.

But his post is wrong. Misinformation because Forbes will have the man's networth as $100K

DaddyCoool:
His calculation is WRONG! Oga stop spreading misinformation. Forbes will put this man's networth at $100K - exactly what he is worth.

It's not wrong. They just own a fraction of the business. Stop arguing what you know nothing about. For instance, Bezos owns about 9% of Amazon

kay29000:
Elon Musk's money doesn't come from being twitter CEO. He was already worth over $200 billion before he bought Twitter in 2022.

Read up...https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk/

We weren't talking about how much he has. Moreover, People like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos are richer than him if not for charity and divorce.

You're wrong. He has a million other business ideas and interests. You forget his boring company. His wealth is NOT from salesmanship but from innovation, risk-taking, and always working

Elxandre:
You're not serious. Who is Diddy to own more shares than Elon Musk in Twitter ? He's barely even a billionaire.
Check again, elon has the biggest share in Twitter!

What's not being serious here? I believe your mind should be open to knowledge, void of whatever sentiment you are baptized in.

SmartPolician:
I think the world needs to re-evaluate how individual wealth is measured.

A man has a business idea, pitches it to venture capitalists and raises $200k in equity capital of 20%.

He sells 70% of his business in shares and raises another $700k.

The business is worth $1 million with founder owning 10% of the business or $100k.

He's called the world's richest man whereas he has only $100k out of the $1 million business value.

It's even worse than that. Bulk of their wealth is only "academic wealth" and not the real wealth.

Practically none of those Billionaires with the exception of Bill Gates have up to $1 Billion Dollars in cold hard cash.

In the grand scheme of things, Mr. Musk is a low-tiered elite whose wealth and entire life can be ruined by the REAL elites.

and what is the stock market capitalisation predicated on ?

Don't mind this suckers, who wouldn't want to learn anything contrary to their beclouded sentiments. Bill Gates is the cash richest man in the world, with over 61 billion dollars in cash, yeah. Ben Franklins!
Nobody else comes close, anywhere in the world.

So? Let's say he does watches YouTube channels, what's wrong? I want to know.

its actually a very good thing
I subscribed to the same channel

education is good
regardless of WHERE you get it from
as long as it is credible


P.S.
Not everything is a personal attack

Doylestown92:

90% of YouTube is misinformation. That's what's wrong.
Anybody can post anything and because it's video it's very easy to fool people with deceptive logic combined with manipulated video clips.

Bmaster:
and Solomon will still remain the richest man of all time.may be Elon musk is from one of the lineages of Solomon when properly tracked

In Pastor Odumeje's voice. 10 Dangote = 1 Elon Musk.

mecuries:

He is the wisest man who ever lived..
And he married 700 wives and had 300 other women he was sleeping with who were NOT his wives

Kinoike:

Wrong!
22.8 Dangote = 1 Elon Musk

251÷11=22.8

If he spends 1 million a day he will not finish it till he biologically expires ... That is not wealth again o

We need a new name for that can of accumulated resources

He's still talking. Even idiots know when to stop talking

Yes you are right but please what humanity problems have you solved as a person? Kettle will be calling pot black.

"While there is no direct historical evidence of Solomon's existence, he is an important figure in the stories and culture of ancient Israel and the ancient Near East. In the Hebrew Bible, Solomon is renowned for his leadership and wisdom and building the Jerusalem Temple."... This is a quote from Google.

DaddyCoool:

The only thing superb about Musk is his salesmanship and ability to identify promising ventures. He's not innovative in the real sense of the word but he's good at identifying promising innovations and using his good salesmanship and connections to get investors. The problem with this is, since he came to limelight, involved himself in political subjects and shown himself to be quite eratic, lots of investors are beginning to have questions about him.
