        You can even see the dip in Elon’s networth in 2020 in this chart lol If they had started 1 month earlier, Elons net worth would have only 3x instead they cherry picked a date after Elon’s networth had halved, so instead it 6x’ed.

          I don’t see it. Like, honestly, I can’t see it. If you zoom in you can see months and years.

          The major dip I see in 2020 was from around 50 billion in Feb to 25 billion in April.

          His net worth right now is 227.8 Billion (the graph ends in early 2023)

          So it’s either 9 x higher if you take the 25 Billion or about 4.5 times higher if you take the 50 Billion. So they took the highest number.

          What are you on about mate?
