How To Play Spend Elon Muskโs Money
Picture this: you wake up and your bank account says $908.5 billion. Your only job is to get rid of it. The green bar at the top of the game always shows what is left, and it stays on screen while you scroll through the shop.
Every item card works the same way. Tap Buy to grab one, tap Sell to return one, or type a number in the box to buy a whole stack in one go. Want 40 rocket launches? Type 40. The game will never let you go below zero. If you ask for more than you can afford, you get the most you can pay for and the card gives a small wiggle to let you know.
As soon as you buy your first thing, a receipt starts printing below the shop. It keeps a tidy list of every purchase and the running total, plus buttons to share what you did with all that cash.
What Your Score Means
Your score is the total you spent. Here is how big each step feels:
- A few thousand dollars: a robot vacuum, a telescope and a stack of sci-fi books. Lovely, but the counter has not noticed.
- Tens of millions: a superyacht, a mansion and a rocket launch. Still a rounding error.
- Tens of billions: you bought a social media company and a giant AI data center. Now things are happening.
- Hundreds of billions: you are feeding the whole planet pizza and buying aircraft carriers. You might actually finish.
Your record spree is saved on your device as your personal best.
Tips To Improve
- Think in billions. Anything under a million barely moves the bar. Scroll straight to the bottom of the shop first.
- Stack the space stuff. Moon missions and heavy rocket launches add up fast when you buy them by the dozen.
- Mop up at the end. Once you are down to the last few hundred dollars, donuts and fancy coffees help you land right on zero.
Where the Starting Number Comes From
The $908.5 billion figure is Elon Muskโs estimated net worth on October 18, 2026, from the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list. Forbes reported that his fortune passed $1 trillion for a while earlier in 2026, then slipped back under it as share prices moved. Because almost all of it is in company stakes, the real number can change by billions in a single day.
Some of the prices in the shop are real-world reference points. In 2022, Musk agreed to buy a well-known social media company for about $44 billion, which is why that item costs what it does. Other prices, like rocket launches and car factories, are rounded estimates of what those things have been reported to cost.
A pizza for everyone on Earth assumes about 8.2 billion people and a $15 pizza each. That one is a bit silly, and that is the point.
