Once Elon Musk's net worth hits the $1 trillion mark, something remarkable happens—his wealth alone would account for nearly 3% of total U.S. GDP. That's actually bigger than what John D. Rockefeller commanded at his peak, when his fortune represented roughly 2% of the economy. It's a staggering way to think about how wealth concentration has evolved over more than a century. The comparison really puts individual fortune into perspective against the scale of national economic output.

Can one person's money account for 3% of a country's GDP? What kind of game is this?

ngl, these numbers are outrageous... One person's wealth exceeds 3% of the entire country's economic output. Is this still capitalism?

These numbers are outrageous. One person's net worth can equal 3% of a country's GDP... It's really time to address the wealth gap properly.

Does Musk really have 1 trillion? That number is outrageous, even more impressive than Rockefeller... But on the other hand, the wealth concentration these days is getting more and more frightening.

One person's money is more than a country’s. This is really outrageous.

NGL, these numbers are a bit scary. One person's wealth is almost catching up to the entire country's economic size? Is this still capitalism?
