Well part of what they’re saying is that a dollar is only a dollar if it’s liquid.

And if, for example, Musk were to cash out all his stock positions, many of them would be worth vastly less by the time the transaction was done. Not only that, but without those positions, many other wealthy individuals would see their positions suffer and their wealth evaporate.

It is still an obscene amount of monopoly bucks though.

Your underestimate the fragility of a lonely billionaires ego.
