到處貸款、賣房換現金
特斯拉執行長馬斯克為何是「現金窮人」?

特斯拉執行長的身價在帳面上值390億美金,但這位電動車大亨卻宣佈他將拍賣房產和大部份身外之物,以負擔他近期的大筆支出
-on paper 在書面上、理論上、名義上
-worldly 世俗的,worldly possessions 是指身外之物
-payout 付款、支付
🏡“I am selling almost all physical possessions,” the Tesla Inc. chief executive tweeted on May 1. “Will own no house. I am not sure where I will stay yet, but will probably rent a small house somewhere.”
