It would take longer than human history to get as rich as Elon Musk. (lemmygrad.ml)

If you went back in time to the year 100,000 BC, early homosapiens are beginning to migrate out of Africa and large parts of Europe are under about a kilometre of snow and ice. There are about 90,000 years left in the ice age.

If you are immortal and begin saving $10,000 every single day, without spending any of it, by the time it's 2025 you still won't have the same net worth as Elon fucking Musk.

I had the misfortune of talking to a “wealth expert” about the absurdity of a billion dollars before. I used the million seconds is about a week and a half whereas a billion seconds is 31 years. In essence he said, “You don’t understand. Wealth is logarithmic.” Ah, well touché. Can’t argue with a math word.

You should have told them that how much capitalism is fucking people is logarithmic

You don’t understand. Wealth is logarithmic.

Yeah it's logarithmic because nobody should need over $2 million. You are stealing exponentially at billions of dollars.

Pretty sure he was always dumb as hell because he should have said wealth is exponential. Or he meant that wealth growth should be measured on a logarithmic scale, which like, why though? I think he just learned the word and thought it sounded cool.
