Oh no, if revenue continues to slip in just a few hundred years Musk will be down to his last billion. (assuming he never makes any more money)

That’s not exactly how billionaires work, they don’t keep their money as cash, they keep it as equity. So if the value of his companies fall fast enough, he could lose all of his wealth.
Just food for thought.

One can hope.

Also when you own as much of a company like he does, and try to cash out, you cause the stock to plummet rapidly as you increase the available amount of shares.
It was quite dramatic as he was selling shares to buy Twitter.
