A billionaire's worth isn't the size of the bank account but the limit on the credit card.

To date, I've seen nothing to suggest either Trump or Musk have a limit on how much they can borrow and spend. That's largely because our historically fascist oligarchy of banking executives love their brand of politics.

Yeah, it's one of the reasons Anna Sorokin took so much.

Banks were falling over themselves to lend money to her. They thought she was one of them.
