A trillion dollars is a stupid amount of money

Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire, holding an enormous amount of wealth and power. This scale of wealth is difficult to comprehend, but can be compared to counting seconds, where a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years. This milestone highlights the vast economic disparities in the world. Engineers should be aware of the implications of such wealth on the tech industry and global economy. No specific action is required for engineers, but understanding the context is essential.
