The total population of Greenland is approximately 57,000. Elon Musk is currently worth about $425.2 billion.
Which means that for the low price of just $57 billion, Musk could offer everyone in Greenland a million bucks and simply buy it. (And he’d still have about $375 billion left over.)
There’s precedent for these multibillion-dollar, blockbuster purchases: In 2022, Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion. Who knew Greenland was hypothetically worth just $13 billion more than Twitter?
Of course, when he bought Twitter, Musk was “only” worth a paltry $219 billion. (Poor guy.) So, that $44 billion represented a much larger percentage of his wealth than buying Greenland would today.
Theoretically, there’s nothing to prevent Musk from buying the land on his own — and then reselling it to the U.S. government. (In exchange, perhaps, for exclusive rare earth mining rights?) Musk is actually wealthy enough to pull it off without being unduly leveraged. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
