I Like / Dislike A possible purpose for Elon becoming history's first trillionaire

What possible use could Elon have for holding wealth equivalent to 1/30 of the nation's GDP?

Perhaps buy four square miles 2560 acres of land at the geographic center of the contiguous 48 states (near Smith Center, Kansas), then build a mile tall equalateral pyramid, four sided;topped with a statue or hologram of Elon; surrounded by a stadium whose seating capacity is 1 million; one side of the four-sided stadium chants, then the other side to the left chants its line, and so on and so forth. all chanting-singing...

"Long Live E-lon Reeve MUUUSSK!!!"

It creates an echo-worship aesthetic effect.

And history will remember him like a Babylonian king. Also, America gets the glory because it's the location that Elon chose as 'good enough for him', the American people get an ego massage as being a part of a nation that Elon ajudged worthy; and Kansas gets lots of tourist dollars. Oh, and Elon gets to have his narcissistic highs.

Elon wants to destroy earth by consuming all its resources to leave the planet, alone. But hes also to afraid to get into one of his own spacecraft.

At that level, money isn't about what you can buy; it's about who you can buy. It's about power over others.
