The joke is also decades old, it is public domain at this point.

I have always heard it as "How do you make a small fortune in the restaurant [or magazine] business? Start with a large fortune."

I first heard it about the time Donald and Ivanka Trump were getting divorced. "How do you become a millionaire overnight?" "Start with a billion dollars".

Elon repurposed an old joke too. Calm down, white knight: Elon doesn’t know you exist.

White knight? I would expect nothing less than a cliché from ya, keep up the good work and way to be original.

Hey, what's wrong with taking a page out of Musks book? Taking credit for someone else's work!
