Teslas deal with car-rental giant Hertz has generated some jaw-dropping numbers.
The tycoon is now worth an eye-watering $289 billion.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Jeff Bezos at this difficult time.
These figures, however, barely scratch the surface.
To understand the true enormity of the deal, youd need a team of math whizzes.
Unfortunately, Im all youve got so strap in, number fans.
How deep would Elon have to dig into his pockets to buy 100,000 Teslas?
Elon Musk could buy an everlasting array of crap with his astronomical wealth.
The vast majority ofSpace Karenswealth is tied to his 23% stake in Tesla.
How big a parking lot would you need for 100,000 Model 3s?
Now Musk owns 100,000 Teslas, hell need somewhere to park them, so lets work that out.
TheModel 3 measures4,694 mm in length and 2,088 mm in width.
Dont worry though, Elon can drop each vehicle into its space via some sort of SpaceX rocket.
Whatever, hell find a way.
Could a stack of 100,000 Teslas reach space?
Lets try and work out what Musk would do next.
Oh, and space colonization.
His SpaceX rockets have already sent civilians into Earth orbit.
A single Tesla Model 3 is 1.445m tall.
If you stack 100,000 of them theyll reach 144.5km.
Thats high enough to reach the thermosphere, but it aint gonna get you to space.
