Even though I pray to get my money, I don't envy him and I don't pray for money like this or start saying “God when” when we fully know that he worked so hard to get there and he has a price to pay for it. I just want to be comfortable, live a good and holy life and die before 70 or at least 70. Too much stress will not kill a man.

He made the money while contributing his quota to the wellbeing of mankind. His work gives him a sense of fulfillment. Sometimes, that's all a man needs to live long. Besides, people like him know when to leave the stirring for others. Bill Gates did just that.

Elon Musk produces electric cars and high powered batteries called Power Wall with 20 years warranty.
The reality is that Elon Musk is making the oil which we are still spending billions to search for in the North to become useless.
Some gas and coal power plants in UK are on the verge of shutting down because many homes can now generate their own power and even sell excess back to the grid using Power Wall and solar.

Countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia seeing the 'danger' posed by Tesla are developing futuristic models to diversify from oil which may not rebound as demand remains low coupled with the impact of Covid19.

Nigeria which failed to plan is now in a tight corner, UK and France in 2019 have already declared given a 10 year deadline to phase out all petrol and diesel cars. This is what happened to coal driven locomotives years back when oil and gas was discovered.

Nigeria seeing Elon Musk gradually taking down our sole source of revenue resorted to taking loans from China, IMF, world bank, Brazil and babiya Allahring for help in taking care of either insecurity or Covid19 vaccine.

Now that we have over borrowed and the likelihood of repayment from oil is now slimmer and our creditors are no longer ready to grant us more loans we are resorting to stealing people's money that are dormant in the banks to pay civil servants salaries instead of looking for the owners grin
So much brains you've got. Quite spot on!

What I know is that there's a limit to virtually everything man can do. And that's why I'm sure our leaders can't continue borrowing forever. My personal wish is to see this country become so indebted that our creditors (China, etc.) would start taking over the management of our major assets. That way, those assets would be well maintained and the average man would still enjoy those basic amenities. Imagine if the whites could take over our rail system, develop it to world-class, and maintain it perfectly. Yes, they'll be the ones taking the profits, but the average man would enjoy the services.

I'm in for anything that would cut out the funds available for looting by our useless leaders. They have proven beyond doubt that they don't care if the worst happens to this country. So, if we get "recolonized" by having our major sectors taken over by creditors, that would be sweet because the average man would enjoy even more than when our leaders have been in control.

I don't see that technology becoming common place in Nigeria in the next 20 years. Our petrol marketers have nothing to worry about. My prediction is Africa will be the dumping ground for obsolete and cheap internal combustion engine vehicles.

Nigeria will be awash with cheap petrol because no one will buy from the international market. So, we gat cheap petrol to run cheap tokunbo cars.


you'd be surprised as to the meteoric rice in demand for electric powered cars, just take solar power for example. it is all but extinguishing the use of generators.

Yeah

geographically African

One could argue the racist Apartheid South Africa he was born and grew up in, was way different from most (if not all) African countries and similar in terms of culture and development to the western world.

However, Elon's mind and work ethics is just out of this world...

How is it an illusion? I said yesterday when speaking with my cousin that Elon was going to become the richest man in the world little did I know it will be made official the following day lol. Tech is the new gold. The guy is a genius.
He's rich on paper.
His money is in his company stocks.
Infact Floyd Mayweather is more cash rich than Elon musk despite him having a net worth of $500m.
If Elon musk sells all his company stocks, he'll have his 190b, and the same time watch his company die.
Increase in stocks value = increase in net worth.
It's simple economics.
