   I had a thought about how #Musk would compare to #Bond villains and ran a google search asking: how much money did bond villains want

   And I got this result:

   - Hugo Drax - Net worth $7.6bn.
   - Auric Goldfinger - 6.5bn.
   - Max Zorin - 5.3bn.
   - Elliot Carver - 3.9bn.
   - Franz Sanchez - 1bn.
   - Ernst Stravo Blofeld - 640m.
   - Karl Stormberg - 625m.
   - Elektra King - 420m.

     Then I googled: elon musk money

     "US$402 billion as of February 8, 2025"

     Ok, then 402 divided by 113 is about 3.56.

     So let me get this straight, the guy who almost has FOUR TIMES the amount of money as the TOP TEN BOND VILLAINS COMBINED is running around axing government organizations as he pleases?

     Please explain to me how this is a reasonable thing to let happen.

     Ok, let's sum that up:

     7.6 + 6.5 + 5.3 + 3.9 + 1 + 0.64 + 0.625 + 0.42 = 25.985

     For simplicity (read: lazy) I'm picking Moonraker 1979 as the inflation adjustment start (I used https://www.in2013dollars.com):

     $25,985,000,000 in 1979 is worth $112,961,376,377.41 today
