LINK: See How Long it Takes for Elon Musk to Earn Your Salary

I swear my objective is NOT to depress you.  Still, I’m aware that I’m about to do just that.

Someone came up with a calculator that allows you to enter any monetary amount, and see how long it takes Elon to earn it.  Which means you can plug in your salary and find out just how ridiculously more wealthy this man is than you.

For instance, the average yearly salary in the U.S. is $51,480.  Plug that into the calculator, and you’ll discover that Elon Musk makes that much cash in TWO MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS.

Let’s say you’re doing a little better, and you make $100,000.  Well, Elon need merely EXIST for four minutes and 23 seconds to earn that much.

Did you make $1 million last year?  Well, Elon just made that much over the last 43 minutes and 48 seconds.

If that’s not depressing enough, there’s also a ticker that shows you how much Elon is earning in REAL TIME while you’re using the site.  It hurts.  (NME)
