Terms of Service

last updated: june 13, 2026 · day two of the four comma era

1. What this is

TRILLBOARD ("the site") is a satirical, real-time tracker of trillionaire wealth, funded by banner ads sold at auction. The jokes are jokes. The ad slots, the bids, and the payments are real. By using the site or placing a bid you agree to these terms.

2. The numbers are estimates

Net-worth figures are estimates derived from public filings, market prices, and a drift model we openly describe as "vibes." They are entertainment, not financial data. Do not trade on them, cite them in court, or use them to file anyone's taxes.

3. The auction

• A bid is an offer to rent an ad slot for 24 hours at the amount you name.
• A bid only counts once a matching Stripe payment for the same amount clears. Unpaid bids sit on the public leaderboard looking thirsty and are eventually removed.
• For each slot, the highest paid, approved bid goes live at the next changeover and serves for 24 hours.
• Being outbid does not interrupt a running ad. Your 24 hours are yours; the challenger starts after you.
• Bids from the floor price upward are accepted into the queue. A higher bid buys priority, not extra time.

4. The List

• What you are buying: a cosmetic entry on a satirical leaderboard. Your displayed "net worth" is $1,000,000,000,000 plus the amount you paid; the trillion is complimentary and fictional, and only the trailing digits correspond to money that existed. A List entry is not an investment, security, token, or asset; it confers no rights, no equity, no income, and no actual trillionaire status. It cannot be resold, because there is nothing to resell.
• Ranking: entries are ordered purely by amount paid (earliest payment wins ties). Anyone may pay more than you at any time. You are never removed by other people's payments — only demoted, possibly forever, with no notice and no sympathy.
• "Permanent" means for as long as TRILLBOARD operates, which we intend to be a very long time but do not warrant to be longer than the site itself. If the site retires, The List retires with it.
• Your handle: submit only an X handle you own or have permission to list. Impersonating a real person or brand gets the entry edited or removed without refund. We may ask you to prove a handle is yours and may act on credible complaints from a handle's actual owner.
• Flex lines are subject to the same content standards as ad creative (next section). We may redact or remove an entry that is illegal, hateful, deceptive, or embarrassing-in-the-bad-way, without refund.
• Discretion: we reserve the right to remove any entry from The List at any time, for any reason or no reason, at our sole discretion. Other people's money can only demote you; we can delete you. We expect to use this rarely, and whether a discretionary removal is refunded is also at our discretion.
• Refunds: otherwise, none. Placement is delivered the moment your payment matches — instantly, in full, and (see above) permanently. The flex cannot be un-flexed.
• The population counter counts List entries plus one actual trillionaire. It is a joke that you are choosing to fund.

5. Creative review

Every ad is reviewed by a human before it serves. We refuse, without debate: anything illegal, hateful, or deceptive; adult content; malware or phishing; financial scams (including, with respect, most token launches); and anything that would embarrass us in front of the trillionaire. We may also refuse ads for taste, which is subjective, final, and part of the charm.

6. Refunds

• Rejected creative: always refunded, in full.
• Queued and tired of waiting: refunded on request any time before your ad starts serving, or rolled forward as bid credit.
• Served ads: not refunded. The eyeballs were delivered; they cannot be un-delivered.

7. The leaderboard is public

Bids — brand name, ad line, slot, and amount — are published on the advertisers leaderboard by design. Untick the leaderboard box when bidding and you appear as "Anonymous advertiser" instead. Your email is never published (see the privacy policy).

8. Not affiliated with anyone

TRILLBOARD is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or aware of the personal feelings of Elon Musk, SpaceX, Tesla, X Corp, xAI, any person on or adjacent to the list, any legacy list-keeping magazine, or Stripe (Stripe processes payments; that is the whole relationship).

9. Liability

The site is provided as-is, with no warranties of uptime, accuracy, or comedic quality. Our total liability to you for any claim is capped at the amount you paid us in the 30 days before the claim arose, which for most visitors is zero dollars and zero commas.

10. Changes

We may update these terms; the date above moves when we do. Material changes to auction mechanics will not apply retroactively to bids already paid.

11. Contact

Advertiser questions, refund requests, takedown notices: reply to your Stripe receipt, or use the email address printed on it.
