With $1B NW, the government will pay you $150k per day in interest. In stocks you are looking at ~$500k per day (with more risk).

Why you would ever waste your time running a supplement scam, when you passively earn $150k-$500k per day doing nothing, is probably the most perplexing proposition people are making here (which frankly I don't even think they are aware that they are making it).

He could just make an AI startup if he was really interested in doubling his NW.

My only answer is - he lost a lot of money somewhere. He likes planes and dabbled in finance and engineering. So either lost a lot on crypto + planes. Or wants baddest biggest personal jet ever (I think he mentioned on Tom Seguro's podcast that private jets are the best luxury item you can get).

1B NW != 1B accruing interest

At some point, it's just keeping score. Elon Musk doesn't need to be a trillionaire, he wants to be one. None of the world's billionaires need to be that rich, they are just competing against each other.
