Elon Musk is the world's first trillionaire. A trillion dollars is so much money it is nearly impossible to comprehend. I asked Claude to give me some visuals of how this would look if stacked as 100 dollar bills. Truly stunning...
$1 million in $100 bills = about 3.6 feet tall. Roughly chest-high on a person.
$1 billion = about 3,580 feet, or 0.68 miles. That's taller than any building on the planet, and roughly 2.5 Empire State Buildings stacked tip to tip.
$1 trillion = about 680 miles or 11 times higher than the edge of outer space. The International Space Station orbits at around 250 miles up, so your stack would punch past it and keep going nearly three times higher.
If you stacked Musk's trillion dollars as $100 bills and started climbing it at highway speed, 60 mph, it would take you over 11 hours of nonstop driving straight up to reach the top.
