The richest person in the world, Elon Musk, bought the social media platform Twitter for 44 billion dollars. Developments that occupy a back and forth agenda for a long time have an important place in the history of technology.
$44 billion, when stacked in $100 bills, weighs 440 metric tons and is 30 miles high. So, what can be done with so much money? What could Elon Musk buy instead of Twitter with $44 billion? Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
could hold 14 spaceships!
Next year, Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket will make its maiden flight. At the head of the company is Jeff Bezos, the rival of Elon Musk, the second richest person in the world. These spaceships, which will take satellites and rich people into space, were funded by Jeff Bezos for $2.5 billion and by the US Space Force for $500 million. In other words, Elon Musk could buy 14 of these spaceships, each of which cost 3 billion dollars in total.
It could hold three carriers!
Elon Musk could have bought 3 aircraft carriers and started building his own navy instead of buying Twitter. The businessman would also make a profit of $5 billion after buying ships worth $13 billion apiece. But the crew inside the ship is excluded from this exchange.
A Chromebook for every college student
Elon Musk could have bought a Chromebook for every college student in the world instead of Twitter. The Acer Spin laptop, which is shown as student-friendly, has a price tag of $ 175.
366 million-year Netflix membership
Elon Musk could enjoy Netflix with a 366 million-year subscription if he hadn’t bought Twitter. Netflix announced that Stranger Things cost $30 million per episode as of season four. Elon Musk could have financed the popular series until season 187, that is, until the early 2200s.
