A Twitter exchange shows Matt Darling stating that the 2019 median household net worth was $97,300. Another user claims this is because a few millionaires skew the figure, so Darling explains that a median would instead be below $100 if most households had almost no money, then the exchange ends with an unrelated personal insult. The joke is the other user's misunderstanding of median statistics and the absurd escalation of the reply.
