C'mon, man. We know Musk's net worth. It's public knowledge!

>We know Musk's net worth

No we don't.

>It's public knowledge!

No it's not. We estimate his net worth based on public filings. We know next to nothing about his nonpublic holdings.

  • It has its own Wikipedia article.

    That the estimates vary a bit on the edges doesn't mean they've no value. It was public knowledge when his net worth confirmably hit a trillion dollars in share holdings.

    • From your own linked source: "with an estimated net worth of US$942 billion."

      "with an estimated"

      You made my point for me, thank you.

      >That the estimates vary a bit on the edges

      We don't know that. It could vary widely, intra-day even.

      >doesn't mean they've no value.

      I did not make this claim.

      >It was public knowledge when his net worth confirmably hit a trillion dollars in share holdings.

      It was "public knowledge" when his estimated net worth hit a trillion.
