This may be true. But in actuality, he’s worthless.
Elon Musk’s net worth now stands at $632 billion, according to Bloomberg.
He is worth 2.5 x as much as the second person on the list, Google co-founder Larry Page who is worth $256 billion.

On the most recent season of Platonic (Apple), one of the characters develops a catchphrase for her podcast: “Don’t ask, don’t get.” There’s some truth to this in Hollywood but only some. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on FAVORS. When/when not to ask and what to ask for.

“It’s like negotiating with a cannibal and hoping that this agreement will prevent the cannibal from devouring you"
