    That’s the thing though. No one does buy anything from him and he’s still a trillionaire because it’s all theoretical. If he was forced to actually come up with the money he couldn’t.

      You do know they borrow against their wealth at close to zero percent interest, right? He probably cant get a trillon in cash but he could probably get $250 billion no problem.
