"Gay and Williams referenced a March 3 Tweet from journalist Mekita Rivas, which said, 'Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over. I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for most people. Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST.'...As for journalist Rivas, she made her Twitter account private after the MSNBC math error began trending on social media, adding to her Twitter bio, 'I know I’m bad at math.'"

"In reality, Bloomberg's advertising dollars would have amounted to roughly $1.53 per American. Keep in mind - Williams and Gay obviously don't understand math. But that tweet made it all the way through MSNBC's editorial process - and was made into an in-show graphic. And none of them caught the obvious error."

"To be able to give a million dollars to 327 million people, Bloomberg’s campaign would have had to have cost $327 trillion."
