No, it’s not. The numbers used to derive the answer were correct. I did not forget to multiply by the K. I read the answer wrong when I transferred it.
The person I initially responded to said that the reason I was off by a factor of 1000 was because I forgot to multiply by the K in the price.
I said the actual reason I was off by 1000 was because when I glanced at the calculator I read the result wrong. The math was right, my reading comprehension wasn’t.
I was never arguing that the answer I put in the comment wasn’t wrong. I even edited it.

My math was correct, my reading wasn’t.
Should be “133m × $22.5k = $3000b”… or 3 trillion. You don’t think the right side of the equation is part of the math?
Apparently I’m not the only one making reading errors here.
If you think I have made an error, feel free to point it out. I prefer being corrected than being wrong.
I’ve never understood why people are so reluctant to admit mistakes. Insecurity? I have no problem with it.

Bruh, you did the math wrong. Knowing the difference between a billion and a trillion is basic math. That you got wrong.
