Oh, you’re right. Although 50% per year is still insane.

And I definitely forgot about investing, but also didn’t account for inflation, which maybe would cancel e/o out.

Doesn’t really matter if you consider the difference between a million and a billion is roughly a billion.

I tried do to just that, because i believed that it wouldn’t paint a better picture for the billionaires, and I also dont like that people have downvoted your comment without providing explanation.

Assuming Musk started working at 18yrs old, which would have been in 1989, 35 years ago. And assuming he started at 7.25 dollars an hour, and never got a raise, he would have accumulated roughly 527.800 dollars by now.

40h * 52w * 7.25 usd = 15080 usd 15080 usd * 35y = 527 800 usd

His net worth (according to meme) is a staggering 273 000 000 000 dollars. Obviously he had to have a pay rise to get there, lets calculate that rise, starting from 7.25 dollars an hour.

273000000000 ÷ 527800 = 517241.37931034

So his pay rise averaged over 35 years, would be an absurd 517240%, or 14778% per year. The yearly average pay rise is roughly 4-5%, its not even remotly close.

All of this assumes that Elon started with 0 dollars to his name, he didn’t. So in reality his hypothetical pay rise wouldve been a a bit lower. However the minimum wage wasn’t 7.25 dollars in 1989, and I haven’t accounted for inflation. Still the numbers would probably be similarly insane.

Even in a somewhat more accurate form, I think the core statement of the meme still rings true.

Not sure if “OG Nazis” only include the first generation, but their Children were pretty much brainwashed.

You can look up “Hitler Jugend” If you want, that organisation basically indoctrinated children while growing up. Right when humans are the easiest to manipulate.

I’d wager that, maybe, you were right.

You sent me down a little rabbit hole, depending on how one defines sedan, the lightest I could find is the Peel P50 at roughly 60 kg. A better fit weight wise could be the Isetta at roughly 350 kg.

But neither option, including the robin feels like a proper sedan to me, and only the robin really checks the basic requirements.

Afaik the term “sedan” doesn’t really define the amount of wheels, but I don’t tend to think of a three wheeled vehicle.

So the first four wheeled sedan style car that came to mind was the Trabant, but that’s still 600kg.

Idk what the point of this text is…

Have a nice day, I guess?

Well, they’d only need enough batteries to cover the distance without overhead lines. So for shortish sections it’s probably fine, just charge while on the powered section.
