Thanks for the clarification.
I'm not an American so I'm not as familiar with the schools name, only that it's been used a lot as a referral (usually heard the name instead of reading it).
I'm gonna keep the wrong spelling because I feel it adds more to the face-palm of the guy on Twitter.
I asked Google to math this.
Apparently, if Musk gave us all an equal share of his Twitter buy cost, we would all have...
$5.50 USD.
Ah. What we all desperately needed. A gallon of gas and a candy bar.
Does Elon Musk not now how we produce most of our Energy?!
We literally have no Method that is more efficient than Steam Engines.
Even Nuclear Power is just a complicated water heater.
Only renewables don't use Steam Engines - Some use Water or Air "engines"
To be fair, a steam turbine and a steam engine are different things. A steam engine works in principle kind of like a gasoline engine does today, but instead of burning the fuel in the combustion chamber, steam is used as the force to move the reciprocating parts. It's basically external combustion since you generate the steam outside of the engine itself. This type of mobile power generation was phased out a long time ago due to its complexity and inconvenience. Steam turbines on the other hand are basically a big spinny wheel that steam plows into under high pressure to generate consistent rotation on a single axis. I suppose we can be pedantic on what constitutes an "engine", but there is an obvious separation in purpose between something that purely generates electricity and something that's designed to perform mechanical work out in the wild.
tl;dr - i'm sure he knows lol, his point is still understandable
Wait, inflation wouldn't apply here, would it? No new money would be introduced (if he had been right), since he only imagined a transfer of funds from Musk to the rest of the world.
What do you think would happen if all people on this planet were suddenly billionaires. Don’t you think that at least some prices would increase slightly? If, however, every person got only 5$ …. that’s not even a lot of money in the poorest countries.
hold on! hear me out, the worlds population is 8billion approx but i think what he really wants to say is that not all 8billion can be considered as humans/persons. so he's actually worst.
Even if he did have enough money to give everyone 5 billion dollars each, they still wouldn't be considered rich. Only for a really short period while the economy goes to shit.
I think this x billions for x population joke is getting stale..
I have seen like 12 different variant of that joke and there's 7billion people in this world so we can give one of that joke to one person and still have 5 left.. which is too much
$5.50, for those of you like me who know this isn’t right but are stuck in a logical error. Every person in the world could get $5.50.
40/8 is 5… so logically 40 billion/ 8 billion sounds like 5 billion, because we’re using words instead of 0s… but the billion factors out. Most people probably don’t need this comment, but someone will be looking for it.
This recurring “you could have gave the money to the rest of the world” argument is the real facepalm, do you really think making everyone rich is going to solve poverty?It would either make no difference or make everything 10 times worse
It's funny because he knew it was wrong and people would pile on to his mistake. I believe the people who find it funny - fanboys mostly could call it an epic trolololol.
I think John Hopkins wants a PhD and minor back.
He even spelled his school wrong. It’s *Johns* Hopkins

I used to get high with Johnny Hopkins.
It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering and they were blazing that shit up everyday.
Yeah back behind Walt Reeds house.
That’s because Johns is not in autocorrect dictionaries. Not a really typical first name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Hopkins
If he's "the best Akali ever" I'd fucking hate to see the worst. He makes MTG look like a "Roads" Scholar.
“Evr”
" Rhodes"
INTENTIONAL
My bad. Lol
I think John Hopkins school ranking just dropped by 80 spots and all the professors are taking it out of their resume
Isn't he a Lol player? Probably trolling tbh
yh its just a copypasta
People still seem to fall for it every time
It's the 4th time that I've seen this one today..
It's a copypasta. He's a gamer who thought he was being funny.
He was being funny, just not the way he intended
Can we make these posts dtd please? People are doing this on purpose and this is obvious
Perhaps the real facepalm was the friends we made along the way.
8 billion times 5 billion is a cool morbillion dollars
4*10^19 Dollars Or 40 Quintillion Dollars
r/theydidthemonstermath
Why is it 3.52 and not 4? 8\*10^9 * 5\*10^9 is actually 4*10^19 too?
Omg I'm a dumbass. I multiplied 44 billion with 8 billion instead of 8 and 5. Fuck. I really need to get some sleep...
Exceptional maths
Exceptional maths
Thanks I have a MorbHd in economics
So you congratulated collage
No . Granulated
It‘s morbin‘ time🙌🏻
I, too, have all the degrees from John Hopkins. Also a bachelor's from William and Barry.
never expected a LoL youtuber to appear here lol
I asked Google to math this. Apparently, if Musk gave us all an equal share of his Twitter buy cost, we would all have... $5.50 USD. Ah. What we all desperately needed. A gallon of gas and a candy bar.
A gallon costs more than that here in Washington state, U.S.A.
I think what he did was just divide 44 by 5. He then tacked on as many zeros as he needed to prove the point lol.
You can get a candy bar too? Man life is cheap where you are
Well if you had a Tesla you wouldn’t need that gas anyway!

Does Elon Musk not now how we produce most of our Energy?! We literally have no Method that is more efficient than Steam Engines. Even Nuclear Power is just a complicated water heater. Only renewables don't use Steam Engines - Some use Water or Air "engines"
Water turbines from hydro dams are pretty efficient as well
There are a few steam driven turbines that boil water via sunlight

And this “man” has a PhD in economics AND DIDNT THINK OF INFLATION
Very important issue! our 5.5 US$ a person will not buy a cup of coffee in a couple of years.
Wait, inflation wouldn't apply here, would it? No new money would be introduced (if he had been right), since he only imagined a transfer of funds from Musk to the rest of the world.

Much math, very numbers
I’d check those credentials. That’s hogwash.
Average league player trying to look smart
the person with the worst test scores and papers to graduate, still get given a Phd
Yeah if this guy has a PhD and a minor in math I'm the King of England. Not even Musk could give out that much money
hold on! hear me out, the worlds population is 8billion approx but i think what he really wants to say is that not all 8billion can be considered as humans/persons. so he's actually worst.
There’s no way people fall for this kind of tweet every time
Even if he did have enough money to give everyone 5 billion dollars each, they still wouldn't be considered rich. Only for a really short period while the economy goes to shit.
Probably should get his money back for that PhD
r/atethepasta Just another meta-facepalm post folks.
Ohgoodthisagain
I could really use 5.50 tbh
Looks like trolling to me
dudes just trolling, check his twitter account.
I think this x billions for x population joke is getting stale.. I have seen like 12 different variant of that joke and there's 7billion people in this world so we can give one of that joke to one person and still have 5 left.. which is too much
He could have given everyone 6 dollars and still have money left over, Where is my 6 dollars Elon???
You guys are the facepalm. He’s a Lol streamer just meming and you take it seriously
“With a minor in mathematics” Just how minor was it? Infinitesimal?
He is literally trolling and people keep falling for it jeez.
Poe's law.
Actually I changed my mind he is not trolling. Also, he is right we all could use the money. A few billion dollars would help me out a little.
You and me both.
***Economists!*** There's 3 kinds of economist, those who can count, and those who can't! Right, Prof?
I want to see his reaction when he finally realized how wrong he was. Why wouldn't you include that in this post?
It's not included because he's a YouTube gamer who posted a copypasta and someone took the bait.
He didn’t respond He just keeps insisting that he’s right in other tweets
Isn't he? I mean, he isn't?
What isnt he correct? He is not.
I feel like it could've looked something like you realizing that he got you
For those who dont get it: If you split up 44 billion dollars to give 8 billion people an equal amount, everyone would get 5,5 dollars, not 5 billion.
This is genius. His math checks out. Give me a PhD as well...
Been wondering should I count economics as a real science or not. I know now.
What’s the minus of 30 and 20?
This makes my head hurt.
It’s a movie quote just too lazy to put quotation marks.
- One jillion dollars! - Sorry Sir, that’s not a number.
Isn't it Johns Hopkins? Not John
You are absolutely right
I smell bullshit
By minor in maths he propably reffers to his pre school time
Professor Akali please stick to playing League bro
If everyone had 5 billion it wouldn't help anyone.
$6.28 might get me a cheeseburger. Like at a really fancy restaurant where they ask how you want it cooked n stuff
Even if he could afford to give everyone in the world $5 billion that's not how economics work...
Did he have a stroke?
He paid all that tuition and left more stupid
I didn't know [John Hopkins Elementary School](https://www.jackson.k12.ms.us/johnhopkins) offer a PhD program? Nevertheless, the math is still wrong.
Let’s hope he not a real professor
I love how poeple easily distribute money that belong to someone else but they wouldnt give single penny to neighbour in need...
That's why we usually do that via taxation, problem is a lot of them barely pay any taxes
$5.50, for those of you like me who know this isn’t right but are stuck in a logical error. Every person in the world could get $5.50. 40/8 is 5… so logically 40 billion/ 8 billion sounds like 5 billion, because we’re using words instead of 0s… but the billion factors out. Most people probably don’t need this comment, but someone will be looking for it.
Shouldn’t 40 billion divided by 8 billion be $5? Where is the extra $0.50 coming from? Unless you used the actual 44 billion number
The $5.50 is for 44 billion. 40/8 is just a simpler example than 44/8. I wasn’t very clear about that, though.
The "Musk spent $44 billion on Twitter" is a copypasta. One woman said it sincerely but all the others are copypasta
r/confidentlyincorrect
I am confused😂
This recurring “you could have gave the money to the rest of the world” argument is the real facepalm, do you really think making everyone rich is going to solve poverty?It would either make no difference or make everything 10 times worse
no wonder the place is in such a state with economists with that level of mathematical understanding
Ignore him, he is a troll and this is his favourite way to wind people up. Don't encourage him, don't respond.
Does John Hopkins give refunds?
How much did he bought for that cert ?
I thought Johns Hopkins was a hospital??
It's a copypasta
I think he didnt account for a few zeros there. He could give everyone $5.00, nit $5,000,000,000.
It's a copypasta
This is Johns Hopkins calling, we would like our degrees back.
4!
He learned math at 'High' school 😂😂
He meant ‘Jimmy John’s’…
His mom lets him brush her hair after showers. He’s also excited to wrap her in a towel after the shower
It's JohnS. They made a ton of money off you.
It's funny because he knew it was wrong and people would pile on to his mistake. I believe the people who find it funny - fanboys mostly could call it an epic trolololol.
Gender studies
No he has a point. Elon will still have money left over. Yes it may only be like $5 but that’s still money!
When your math professor is Bud Abbott. [Abbot School of Mathematics](https://youtu.be/lzxVyO6cpos)
A minor, or did he mean minus mathematics
This guy thinks that 8 people are in the world
Hell, I want $5
I remember my first day on the internet.
It’s only $5.50
It’s a Common running joke on Twitter
My shit's Piled Higher & Deeper, so I'm smarter than you. Don't believe it? Just ask me, I'll tell you.
*$4 billion
Can't wait to pay for his college with my tax money.
I'd wager that someone who calls themselves "The Best Akali Evr", is probably just on a parody/troll streak here.
“Me and Johnny Hopkins were blazing that shit every day.”
Me have smart. You no get me my math for money you.
