OK but…
* most of them are not for sale, thank goodness,
* their primary value is not economic, thank goodness,
* $14B comes to just 6.6% of Elon Musk's net worth, 210.7B. Even in the limited, misleading economic sense of worth, it's obscene that anyone is worth more than the lakes of Maine, let alone 15x more.
