A post went viral saying Elon Musk, who’s worth around $300 billion, could give $1 billion to every person on Earth — and it would only cost him $8 billion. But this is completely wrong.

Here’s the real math:

There are about 8 billion people on Earth.

If Musk gave $1 billion to each person, he’d need $8,000,000,000,000,000 (that’s 8 quadrillion dollars!).

That’s way more than he has — it’s not possible.

What people likely meant to say was:

“What if he gave $1 to every person?”

That makes sense:

$1 × 8 billion people = $8 billion.

Musk could still have $292 billion left. That’s generous and actually possible.

This viral mistake shows how important it is to understand big numbers.

Mixing up “$1” with “$1 billion” can totally change the meaning.

In crypto and finance, always check your numbers — billions and trillions aren’t the same!
