      As online commentary states: I sold my car to myself for $1 million.

      The numbers don’t mean anything at all.

      And now you understand the stock market. Everything is worth something, but it’s only worth what someone will pay for it. If the richest man in the world says he owns 7, the stock soars! But in reality, the stock isn’t worth anything more than it was before. There’s just more dupees in the market now.

        1,000,000,000 dollars

        This is worth 1,000,000,000 dollars if someone buys it at that price.

        Stocks, art, wine, same valuation technique. Slap a sticker price and if someone buys it, that’s the value. Welcome to capitalism.

    For reference, he bought it for $44B.

    https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Acquisition_of_Twitter_by_Elon_Musk

    But this one doesn’t really mean anything since they’re both owned by him.
