Key claims and evidence

Key claims in source A

  • Musk is currently 55 years old, so he has at least seven years until he is eligible to claim Social Security, assuming he’d be interested in claiming at the youngest possible age of eligibility (age 62).
  • While a global selloff a few weeks later brought his wealth down below the trillion-dollar threshold, there’s every reason to believe that it will climb to that level again.
  • Regardless of whether Musk has a trillion dollars or is short by a few billion, we can predict how big his future Social Security benefit will be.
  • In fact, since Musk won’t need the money, he’ll probably wait even beyond his full retirement age to claim benefits.

Key claims in source B

  • He retained that status, according to Bloomberg’s billionaires index, for 11 days after the initial public offering, or until the stock price drifted back to Earth and Musk’s fortune fell to as low as $942 billion, by B…
  • he owns 4.76 billion shares, with exercisable options for an additional 350 million shares.
  • he and other top insiders are forbidden to sell, lend them out or borrow against them, among other restrictions, for 366 days after the IPO.
  • The listing is sure to trigger buying by mutual funds and exchange traded funds based on the index, because their holdings must reflect the index’s portfolio.
