Today's Number: Elon Musk's $400 Billion Net Worth

At 3:16 · chapter starts 2:20

Scott Galloway sets the tone for the episode with a stark data point: Elon Musk's net worth has hit a record $400 billion. The line is short but pointed — 'Power corrupts. And absolute power absolutely corrupts.' Ed Elson piles on with the granular math: since November 5th, Musk's wealth has grown 66%, a pace that works out to $4 billion added every day. The exchange is brief and wry, with Scott riffing on the absurdity of his own sponsors — chewable erectile dysfunction pills, in contrast with Musk's stratospheric ascent — before pivoting to a preview of the episode's main topics.
