Not sure I understand what you're referring to.

0.284 * $7.5 billion = $2.13 billion

His gain, assuming a 20% jump, is about $300 million.

At market close TSLA's market cap was $6.39 billion.

Weird, I must've had a different Google Finance tab open at the time? Thanks for the correction.

> A notional profit of $500 million in 24 hours isn't too shabby.

It's not a 24 hours profit. He didn't buy that stock yesterday, nor could he have without making the price go a lot higher than 70$. You can't judge his profit on the short term.

That's why I called it a notional profit and repeatedly referred to his net worth as 'on-paper'. Was that not obvious?

It's clear he doesn't have an extra $500mm in a checking account.

Yeah, sorry, I skipped over the 'notional' in your comment.

Yeah, thats correct. I dont know why he misread "notional"
