@IsaacKing @mods resolves YES

bought Ṁ271 YES

forbes showing him as first trillionaire

@Mochi As you know this has been revised back below $1trillion.

A quirk: Suppose IPO is priced at $135 today after close and Forbes shows $1trillion then but the price opens tomorrow lower such that Musk's wealth falls below $1trillion. Was the $135 a real price and his wealth was over $1trillion today after IPO announcement later today? If $75B changed hands at that price that seems pretty real, doesn't it?.
@IsaacKing
If it is considered real, should we be regarding the probability of this question to be near 100% true?

bought Ṁ30 NO

I think the ketamine might melt his brain before then

Does this also resolve NO conditional on Musk dying?

@LukeBousfield Yeah that would count too.
