No, like the entire thing. All of it. And the bond market, I’ll take that too.
Buy it all as a retail trader, or as much as possible in 24 hours. Pay people to help me get more trades done.
Wreck some short sellers on the way, inflate the value of a bunch of companies, acquire several publicly traded banks and at least one investment firm, probably a law firm or two. Pay them to explain it to the IRS.
Not possible because the price will rise as you buy. Your broker will not even accept a deposit of “infinity dollars”. None of this is possible because moving large amounts of money doesn’t happen that quickly, for good reason.
Yes, well OP also doesn’t say that there will be no consequences. I feel like everyone’s answers are just ignoring the tax burden that would result from realizing this income.
You sell 50% of the stuff you bought to pay it. Or maybe more because the prices probably crashed. But you have a lot of time to do that, actually - you have at least a quarter to pay estimated taxes, plus it’s just fines and/or interest to kick the can even further.
I imagine the SEC would shut you down once your owned to many competing interests, so you would have to limit your companies to avoid breaking securities laws.
…how much is the stock market?

It’s not that big a deal.
