Billionaire Elon Musk, the world's richest man, offered financial advice to people with $1,000, suggesting they give the money to him.
In an interview this week, right-wing podcast host Katie Miller asked Musk how he would "start from scratch today with only $1,000."
"At this point, I have a lot of knowledge," Musk replied. "I mean, it would take Armageddon, which hopefully that doesn't happen. Like Ragnarok next level, and I lost... It's impossible for me, for someone to have that amount of knowledge, drop down to a low resource amount."
"Because the reality is that either something truly catastrophic has happened, like civilization has melted, or I will be able to ask people to just give me money and with the promise that I will have a high return, which is what I'm able to do right now," he continued. "Like if you give me a dollar, you will get back much more than a dollar."
"So this is, it's somewhat of an impossible dichotomy because civilization would have had to have destroyed or something. In which case, $1,000 is not going to solve your problems."
But if civilization had not been destroyed, Musk insisted the answer would be for people to "give me money."
