Ugh... it drives me nuts!

Musk had to borrow around $13 billion for his doomed $44 billion acquisition.

Had he spent that ~~$57~~ $44 billion on developing space hardware instead of going insane and squandering it on social media bullshit, he might have done something worthwhile. I mean... fifty seven billion! What even is that much money? He could have had his own space station for that much money! He could fly up there for weekends, just for funzies.

I do English, but your math is wrong

Haha everyone keeps saying that! But it's pretty funny how wrong everyone is about where the mistake was.

The math is just fine, I did the simple addition correctly. It's the reading comprehension that I got wrong, I misunderstood what the sentence was saying.

You're right, that is pretty funny. I didn't notice until you pointed it out in this comment
