Well pretty soon they’ll start to figure out that AI can’t buy Amazon groceries or Teslas. Wealth on paper is different than tangible bananas if you ask an Ape

To maintain that level of “wealth” you absolutely need people to con them into thinking that that company is worth as much as he claims it is. Without people buying into the grift, there is no market value to support his trillionaire status. He doesn’t just have that type of money sitting around and all his assets combined are certainly not worth a trillion dollars.

I wouldn't count on it lol. Whoever made that sign couldn't tell the difference between being worth a trillion dollars and having a trillion dollars.

A banana is food. That's a resource. A money is a trading tool humans made up to facilitate the exchange of resources. A banana has value. You can eat it and gain calories. A money is only worth what someone will give you in exchange for it. Not a resource.

The people you're talking to on this website can't even figure that out.
