"1. You can pay your bills and your rent without stress.
"2. You can eat at any restaurant without looking or worrying about the price.
"3. You can travel wherever you want without worrying about the price.
"Beyond this, life doesn’t change with more money."
Fellow entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale quote retweeted Huber's original tweet and added a further level, level 7.
He wrote: "Level 7 is you can raise, equip and indefinitely maintain a sufficient army to deter nation states, clearly Nick has not thought very hard about this."
That's when the Tesla CEO stepped in and one-upped Lonsdale, revealing a higher level, level 9.
He tweeted: "Level 9 is make humanity a multiplanet species & true spacefaring civilisation. That is why I am gathering resources."
His loyal legion of 147million followers were quick to flock to the comments section, with one writing: "As much as I appreciate the idea, Why don’t we work on fixing this planet first?"
A second said: "You will go down in the eternal history of humanity when you pull it off. Godspeed sir!" While a third added: "I have a list of people I’d like to ship to Mars."
Meanwhile a fourth quipped: "Level 10 is becoming a great friend to the guy that’s making humanity a multiplanet species. So you get the summer invite… Like having a friend with a yacht."
