Rounding, let's say that there are 125 million people in the Philippines and New Zealand. And let's say that for some reason they all decide to make a new Twitter account and pay for it in perpetuity. Elon paid $44 billion for Twitter. At this rate, this move would allow him to recoup his investment in...352 years.
He doesn't get the whole dollar.
CC often have a %+$ fee
E.g 2.5% and 10c per transaction
Nice.. I love math presented like this.
