    Tesla probably has a lot more customers, and if memory serves, they also make money by deals with other car companies, where Tesla’s lack of emissions offsets their excess of emissions for government regulations.

    Exactly. The three richest people in the world:

    Elon Musk. Net worth ~$248 billion.
    Owns ~13% of Tesla, which is worth ~$768 billion. That’s ~$99 billion in his net worth.
    Owns ~48% of SpaceX, which is worth ~$150 billion. That’s ~$72 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~$171 billion of his net worth is in companies, which is ~69% of his wealth.

    Bernard Arnault. Net worth ~$207 billion.
    Owns ~41% of LVMH, which is worth ~$422 billion. That’s ~$175 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~85% of his wealth is in companies.

    Jeff Bezos. Net worth ~$161 billion.
    Owns ~10% of Amazon, which is worth ~$1430 billion. That’s ~$143 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~89% of his wealth is in companies.










  • After that, ask them why, if the Bible is the “inerrant” word of God, do some translations of that second verse use “miscarriage” while others say something more general like “caused a premature birth” instead? Because the meaning of that verse changes drastically depending on which way it’s translated.

    According to Google Translate, the original Hebrew for just that phrase directly translates to “and her children went out,” but with the full context of the verse it becomes “and her children are born.” Make of that what you will.

    I could translate it to “and she gets a black eye,” but that doesn’t make the word itself any less reliable, only my wrong translation. I don’t know about the people you hang out with, but I’m pretty sure it’s important for Christians to understand that human translations are prone to error.
