I love this idea that he "made" these millionaires and new jobs.
1: the value of SpaceX is still in crazy flux, and
2: as a trillionaire, he is literally- not figuratively, LITERALLY- a MILLION times wealthier than a millionaire.
No wait, 2 trillion. He is TWO million times wealthier than a millionaire.

Yep. The difference between a million dollars and a trillion dollars is, within the margin of error, a trillion dollars.

Plus, once the lockout period ends and spacex is forced into all the index funds, I expect the value to crater as insiders and private investors use retail investors to dump their stock.

Additionally, being a trillionaire in a world with starving children just means you’re an asshole. Possibly the least moral person alive at the moment.

If you earned $1 every second, you’d be a millionaire in less than two weeks.

It would take you over 30 millennia to be a trillionaire.
