That $13 billion is part of the $44 billion, you don't add them together.
He spent $31 billion of his own capital, and borrowed $13 billion to cover the rest.
Oh great, I added all the numbers in your comment together and now it's $101 billion?? When will this madness end???
With all that money, he could have given every person in the world $12.625 billion!!! It's unfathomable!
maybe you couldn't fathom it, but I'm built different
You've bamboozled my attempt to make the same joke at your expense by only mentioning one number in your comment, giving me nothing to add to it. From this point on, I conclude we should only ever mention one number in each comment, for clarity.
Oh thank you, my mistake. Still the numbers are huge!
"own capital" probably more like stocks from Tesla, I doubt any actual money moved
That's why I used the word "capital" instead of "money", but I had a feeling someone still was going to deliberately misunderstand me to try to sound smart.
Well now that you mention it I agree and feel dumb.
Anyways, I'm still right so it means I can double down.
