He was wrong. A trillion is a million millions-twelve zeroes-but in his defence, it is an unfathomable number. If Musk has $1 trillion (US), his wealth would hover somewhere between the gross domestic product of the Netherlands-$1.2 trillion (US)-and Switzerland-$936 billion (US)-making him the equivalent of the world's twentieth largest economy. The International Space Station, the most expensive structure ever built, was co-funded by fourteen countries, including the United States, Canada, Russia, and Japan, and it cost around $150 billion (US).
