Musk and Me: A Tale of Second Best

Hot of the press: Poor Elon Musk, he’s lost his richest person crown, down to second place behind Larry Ellison no less. I feel his pain and understand all about losing top dog status. Last week I was the richest real estate tycoon on the block and then lost my place to a young pretender, my cash vanished before my eyes and I had to do a distressed sale of a few of my properties. Hard times.

At least Musk still has his rockets and social media platforms to console himself with – all I had left were a few measly railroad and utility businesses. Fortunately I was playing junior monopoly and the young pretender was my grandson. I guess that’s as close as I’ll get to that monopoly money scale of wealth. One thing I’m sure of: losing billions couldn’t feel any worse than watching my plastic hotel empire crumble!
