maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks.. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Reckon this just makes the housing crisis worse?

doesn't solve all problems mate

Trillionaire while people can't afford bread. Great.

nah, it's not like he's hoarding cash. He reinvests.

wonder if he'll actually get to Mars before we sort out climate change

Mars huh? Did anyone check if there's oxygen up there?

Noah Bennett2026-06-12T19:24:00.000Z

sure, but the gap is still obscene

Eva Anderson2026-06-12T19:59:00.000Z

SpaceX shares jumped 30% on debut, that's insane growth potential imo

River Cole2026-06-12T19:39:00.000Z

Jordan Bell2026-06-12T20:19:00.000Z

Must be nice being a billionaire... trillionaire even. Can't relate lol

Rowan Blake2026-06-12T20:09:00.000Z

facts, but still crazy numbers

There is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Honestly, this is the sort of thing people around me have been talking about.. wait till facebook gets the elon headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. People usually just want a sensible outcome here.

this feels pretty close to what people are actually dealing with.. the elon part is what ppl will argue about. Most people I know care about how this lands day to day.

This feels pretty close to what people are actually dealing with. The smaller practical details matter more than the headline.
