It was a quote, not their own claim. Perhaps they included it to show the claimant was not very smart.
But, ok, Wikipedia says Musk is worth around $250 billion, and let's say Tesla 3 costs $35 thousand. Elon could buy a little over 7 million Teslas. There's 8 billion people on Earth, so you have a little under one in a thousand chance to get a Tesla. Not bad!
If Elon is not a fan of a lottery, he could also buy a Tesla for each person living in Kyrgyzstan...
- AdamJacobMuller 3y agoIf Musk actually placed an order for 7m Teslas, how much would that increase the valuation of Tesla and how much would it increase Musk's wealth. Tesla sold 85,000 model Y in 2022. This would be an 8200% increase in Model Y sales. That must merit a significant bump (let's say 10x) in Tesla valuation. Let's ballpark and say this quadruple's Musks wealth. Now Musk can afford to buy 28m Tesla Model Ys which would be an 32,000% increase in Tesla sales! Did I invent infinite money? My logic is at least as sound as the quote from that article.
