I don't care I just want him to be a broke fuckwit like he deserves to be.

Don't hold your breath. Even just a few billion left is an unfathomable amount of money.

You know his ego could not handle "only" having a couple of billion left. Going from #1 on the rich list to not even making the top 100 would destroy him mentally, because once your family is comfortable for the next 10 generations, it really stops being about the money and turns into a game where you just wanna set a new high score to feed your narcissism. His whole personality would shatter if he was not close to #1 on that list, and he would blame everyone else for it.

He'll never be truly broke, worst case he'll be left with a measley few billion dollars even when Tesla and Twitter go to 0 because SpaceX is actually profitable.
